  • F3-a All values (in picoamperes per picoFarad) are means ± SEM of data obtained from cells stimulated with an average phasic, adapting, or tonic action potential waveform.

  • *,**Mean values are significantly different from those in wild-type SCG cells at the *p < 0.01 and **p < 0.002 levels.
