  1. V1/2act: membrane potential at which activation is half-maximal. k act: slope of the activation curve.
  2. V1/2inact: membrane potential at which inactivation is half-maximal. k inact: slope of the inactivation curve.
  3. The number in parenthesis indicates the number of neurons.
  4. *, p < 0.05, **, p < 0.01 indicate significant differences compared with control group.
