  • Basic membrane and experimental variables for CA1 pyramidal neurons across all age groups. No significant aging effect was detected on any of these baseline variables. Cell depth is the depth of imaged cells below the surface of the slice. Action potential numbers reflect spikes generated during the 20 s, 7 Hz RSS train. All values are means ± SEM.
