Commonly measured characteristics of glutamatergic responses. (A) Decay time is measured as the time it takes for the response to reach 37% of the initial peak amplitude. (B) Rise time is calculated as the time it takes from initial deflection for the response to reach peak amplitude. (C) Response amplitude is measured from baseline to peak. In current clamp this measurement is recorded in millivolts and in voltage clamp this measurement is recorded in nA. (D) The area under the curve is measured as the total area under the curve and above baseline (dotted line).
