Comparison of frequencies of preBötC composite rhythm measured in whole-cell recordings and field recordings at 6, 7, and 9 mM [K+]o

[K+]o (mM)Whole cell (Hz)Field (Hz)p value
60.04 ± 0.030.08 ± 0.030.04
70.06 ± 0.020.09 ± 0.030.21
90.14 ± 0.040.14 ± 0.060.65
  • Frequencies are reported as mean ± SD. The reported p values (calculated using Welch’s t test) compare samples of composite frequency measured from the preBötC in either whole-cell or field recordings.
