Summary of comparisons of layer 5 bursting vs. non-bursting cells.
| Layer 5 Bursting (n=6) |
Layer 5 Non-bursting (n=8) |
p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sag current (pA) | 64.6 (17.4) | 42.2 (12.7) | 0.042 |
| Rebound current (pA) | 55.6 (18.3) | 44.3 (17.4) | 0.282 |
| Input resistance (MΩ) | 101 (17) | 199.0 (38) | <0.001 |
| Resting membrane potential (mV) | −55.3 (5.6) | −50.0 (6.1) | 0.121 |
| Time constant (ms) | 16.8 (2.3) | 19.8 (2.6) | 0.046 |

Asterisk and darker shading indicate statistically significantly different based on a Bonferroni-corrected p-value of 0.008 (0.05/6 comparisons). Only 32°C data included here since no bursting was seen at room temperature. Numbers in parentheses correspond to standard deviation.
