Biophysical properties of uninjured and injured RS neurons following right spinal HTs at 10% BL and recovery at ~4–5°C

	N	Vrest, mV	Vth, mV	VAP, mV	VfAHP, mV	VADP, mV	VsAHP, mV
Uninjured	7	−78.3 ± 4.9	14.9 ± 3.4	108.8 ± 5.0	−3.39 ± 2.07	3.96 ± 1.20	−2.09 ± 0.74
Injured	30	−77.3 ± 6.7	15.6 ± 3.9	105.8 ± 8.2	−3.71 ± 2.09	3.80 ± 1.80	−1.87 ± 0.67

Values are means ± SD for uninjured RS neurons (left side of brain) and injured RS neurons (right side of brain). Following a right spinal HT at 10% BL and recovery at ~4–5°C for 2–17 wk (see methods), the properties of injured RS neurons were not significantly different from those for uninjured RS neurons (unpaired t-test). Also, the above parameters for injured RS neurons did not appear to differ substantially from those of uninjured lamprey RS neurons reported in a previous study (not shown; N = 31 neurons, McClellan et al. 2008).
