Properties of synaptic transmission from photoreceptors to bipolar cells in the mudpuppy retina.

abstract：:1. Somatic K currents of cultured hippocampal, striatal, and spinal cord neurons of embryonic rat were recorded under voltage clamp in membrane spheres ("blebs") excised by means of a tight-seal pipette. 2. The somatic K current in blebs was subject to rapid and near complete inactivation during 300-ms depolarizations...
