RMP, Resting membrane potential; AP, Action potential. Resistance and time constant are estimated in current clamp at resting membrane potential with current pulses of ±0.1 nA. All measurements were performed at resting membrane potential to assess how changes of intrinsic properties affect the integration of synaptic activity. *Statistical comparisons between similar neuronal types in different calcium concentrations. §Statistical comparisons between different neuronal types in similar calcium concentrations. *p < 0.05; **,§§p < 0.01; ***,§§§p < 0.001.
