  • 4-a E max values are the percent inhibition of the sAHP amplitude as compared with the base-line sAHP amplitude. Estimates were obtained by fitting concentration-response data from individual cells to the formula for a logistic/hyperbolic function. Values listed are the mean ± S.E.M., and the numbers of cells tested are given in parentheses.
