Abstract excerpt
1. Intracellular recordings were performed on immunocytochemically identified oxytocin (OT) neurons (n = 101) maintained for 2-7 wk in hypothalamic organotypic cultures derived from 4-to 6-day-old rat neonates. The neurons displayed a resting potential of -58.9 +/- 6.8 mV (mean +/- SD, n = 74), an input resistance of 114 +/- 26.8 M omega (n = 66), and a time constant of 9.6 +/- 1.4 ms (n = 57). Voltage-current...
