| GFP+ Kenyon cells mEPSC (n = 38) | GFP− neurons mEPSC (n = 35) | GFP+ Kenyon cells mIPSC (n = 12) | GFP− neurons mIPSC (n = 30) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency (Hz) | 1.2 ± 0.4 | 1.0 ± 0.32 | 0.89 ± 0.25 | 1.10 ± 0.3 |
| Amplitude (pA) | 22.1 ± 2.1 | 25.4 ± 3.9 | 24.6 ± 3.8 | 25.4 ± 4.4 |
| Rise time (msec) | 0.43 ± 0.05 | 0.45 ± 0.06 | 0.80 ± 0.20 | 0.69 ± 0.11 |
| Decay τ (msec) | 1.4 ± 0.1 | 1.5 ± 0.1 | 3.7 ± 0.9 | 3.3 ± 0.5 |
All cultures were prepared from 0K107-GAL4;UAS-GFP pupae. Neurons were identified as GFP+ or GFP− with fluorescent illumination just before electrophysiological characterization. No significant differences were noted between GFP+ Kenyon cells and GFP− neurons (p > 0.05; Student's t test; unpaired).
