  • Twenty group means of EGABA measurements using gramicidin and cell-attached techniques in age-matched CA1 pyramidal cells. SP, Stratum pyramidale; SLM, stratum lacunosum-moleculare. The group mean values of EGABA in 20 separate studies shown indicate a distribution >25 mV. The number of recorded cells (N) in each study varies between 4 and 18. There is no significant correlation between the number of recorded cells and the reported EGABA values (Pearson's r = −0.13, p = 0.5) or the variation in EGABA values indicated by the SEM (Pearson's r = −0.38, p = 0.1).
