Current density measurements in GluR2 mutant neurons

C(pF)Imax(pA)Imax/C (pA/pF)
GluR2(+/+), n = 845  ± 101878  ± 37143  ± 4
GluR2(+/−), n = 651  ± 82160  ± 287*45  ± 6
GluR2(−/−),n = 634  ± 63027  ± 534*88  ± 5*
  • Kainate current density was calculated by normalizing the peak current evoked by 3 mm kainate to cell capacitance calculated by integrating the capacitive transient evoked during each experiment by applying a voltage step of −10 mV from holding potential.

  • * One-way ANOVA with post hoc Bonferronit tests for statistical difference from GluR2(+/+) at p < 0.01.
