Kinetics of Spontaneous EPSCs.
| Slice Preparation | Non-seizure control (n = 20) | HS- Hippocampus (n = 14) | HS-ATL (n = 14) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amplitude (pA) | 12.52 ± 2.2 | 16.65 ± 2.0* | 18.96 ± 2.0** |
| Rise Time (ms) | 2.3 ± 0.6 | 2.8 ± 0.8 | 2.6 ± 0.7 |
| Decay time constant, τd (ms) | 10.6 ± 1.9 | 8.2 ± 1.2 | 10.1 ± 1.5 |
Characteristics of spontaneous EPSCs recorded from pyramidal neurons in resected samples from non-seizure control and the hippocampal and ATL samples from HS patients. The data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. *p = 0.04; **p = 0.009 compared to non-seizure control according to one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test.
