  • In this and Table 4, T0.5 activation is the time from the beginning of the activating voltage step to the point at which TTX-T INa had obtained half of its peak amplitude. Tau inactivation and tau deactivation are time constants obtained from fitting, respectively, the inactivating and deactivating phase of TTX-R INa with a single exponential function.

  • F2-a Data are pooled for neurons in which the deactivating voltage step was to either −50 or −70 mV, from an activating voltage step to −10 mV.
