Values are mean+SEM. Time constants and relative areas for maximum likelihood fits of the open and shut duration distributions to the sum or 3 to 6 exponential functions. Chord conductances were calculated assuming a reversal potential of 0 mV. Burst properties were calculated using a Tcrit determined for each patch to optimally separate the two slowest components of the shut duration histogram. ND indicates not determined.
