  • Negative changes indicate decreases in amplitude recorded at +70 mV from a holding potential of −90 mV. Numbers in parentheses indicate number of cells responding relative to number of cells tested. Percentage changes are calculated only from those cells that responded.

  • F5-150 p < 0.05;

  • F5-160 p < 0.005;

  • F5-165 p < 0.001. Comparisons of control currents with currents seen in the presence of NA (paired t test).
