  • PF-EPSCs were evoked by 10 V stimulation. All data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Numbers of recorded Purkinje cells are shown in the parentheses. The decay time constant was obtained by fitting the EPSC decay with a single exponential. Paired-pulse ratio is second EPSC/first EPSC. Interpulse interval is 50 msec.
