Average Qp frequency response for on-cell patches compared with subsequent whole-cell measures. A, On-cell Qp with Boltzmann fits to data from individual frequencies. B, Frequency response in patches is low pass. C, D, Following patch rupture, Qp increases (C) and frequency response extends (D). These data possibly signify that patch movements are constrained compared with whole-cell conditions, as previously suggested (Gale and Ashmore, 1997). Five millivolt peak AC stimulation. Patch responses were averaged 32 times.
