  • Time constants are given in msec as mean ± SEM.

  • F2_a Includes fast component from 4/11 patches best fit by two exponentials, where the amplitude of the slow component = 32 ± 5%.

  • F2_b Includes fast component from 3/10 patches best fit by two exponentials, where the amplitude of the slow component = 29 ± 9%.

  • F2_c Includes slow component from 3/14 patches best fit by two exponentials, where the amplitude of the fast component = 30 ± 5%.

  • F2_d Includes slow component from 9/10 patches best fit by two exponentials, where the amplitude of the fast component = 40 ± 4%.
