[edit] Summary

A whole-cell current-clamp recording I made of a Substantia Nigra Pars Reticulata neuron. A small amount of negative current is tonically injected to pause tonic firing, and then approximately 200pA of positive current is injected into the neuron to depolarize it and cause it to fire.

This recording is not true current clamp, as it was made with an Axon Axonpatch 200B amplifier, which does not have a true current clamp mode.
