  1. Values are means ± SEM.
  2. n is number of cells.
  3. ACC, anterior cingulate cortex; RMP, resting membrane potential; fAHP, fast afterhyperpolarization; sAHP, slow afterhyperpolarization; ADP, afterdepolarization.
  4. a Significantly different from RS cells at P < 0.001.
  5. ND indicates no data.
  6. b Significantly different from IM cells at P < 0.05.
