  • V1/2act and V1/2inact are the membrane potentials for half-maximal channel activation or inactivation, respectively. kact and kinact represent the slope factors for activation and inactivation. The numbers in parentheses reflect numbers of recorded neurons. ND, Not determined.

  • **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 indicate statistically significant differences with control group. ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 compared with CCL2 alone.
