Intracellular recording from a rat VNLL neuron [5].

<p>(A) A Cell-C neuron experimental data set. A large scale is used to show the gradual shift in the cell’s membrane voltage, something that must be compensated in the formula used to fit the EPSPs. In the inset, a magnified portion of the data is shown of approximately 300 ms in duration with spontaneous EPSPs, arrow (1), a spontaneous IPSP, arrow (2), and the cell’s response to the noise stimulus. (B) The triggered snapshot dataset allowing quantification of the EPSP shape. The average is shown as a thick black line and the fit, using <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0126500#pone.0126500.e002" target="_blank">Eq 1</a>, is shown with a thick white line. (C) The resulting measured growth and decay time constants of the EPSPs and IPSPs for all eight cells that showed fast onset inhibition. (D) The measured amplitude of the EPSPs. (E) The measured amplitude of the IPSPs.
