mEPSC properties in GFP + cholinergic neurons in Cha-GAL4 cultures and in wild-type neurons examined in the absence of fluorescent illumination in Canton-S cultures
| GFP+cholinergic neurons Cha-Gal4 mEPSCs (n = 11) | Wild-type neurons Canton-S mEPSCs (n = 10) | |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency (Hz) | 0.66 ± 0.12 | 0.68 ± 0.19 |
| Amplitude (pA) | 27.5 ± 2.8 | 24.5 ± 2.7 |
| Rise time (msec) | 0.39 ± 0.07 | 0.3 ± 0.02 |
| Decay τ (msec) | 1.7 ± 0.21 | 1.5 ± 0.12 |
Recordings were obtained from GFP + cholinergic neurons in cultures prepared from Cha-GAL4 pupae and in neurons examined in the absence of fluorescent illumination in wild-type cultures prepared from Canton-S pupae. There were no significant differences in the mEPSC properties between these two groups or between either of these groups and the GFP + Kenyon cells in OK107-GAL4;UAS-GFP cultures (Table 1).
