  • Values are means ± SEM. Statistically significant differences compared with control (GFP) are indicated as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 (unpaired t test with Welch’s correction). RMP, resting membrane potential; Cm, membrane capacitance; RIn, input resistance; AP, action potential; AHP mag, magnitude of hyperpolarization below the resting membrane potential.
