Analysis of Rin, Rp, and ADP

In this examle, a 40 pA, 500 ms hyperpolarizaing current pulse is used to measure Rin. Measurement #0 culculate the average voltage, current, and slope in the period from 100 to 200 ms. Measure #1 culculate similar characteristics in the period from 600 to 700 ms. Thus, (V(#1)-V(#0))/(-0.04 nA) is the steady-state input resistance. Measure #2 can be used to measure the characteristics in other period. Rin Rin
During establishing whole cell configuration, we monitor the pipette resistance in the voltage clamp mode. After break in, we can also estimate the input resistance from this recording protocol. The right is the command protocol to do this. A 5 mV, 10 ms hyperpolarizing voltage command is used to monitor the resistance. In this exammple, the patch is just ruptured and the resistance is estimated to be 106.8 MOhm. Rp

To measure ADP, a 1 ms current injection is used to evoke an action potential. ADP is the difference between vMax(#15) and vAve(#14). ADP ADP
