15. Recordings from IO cells were made in a submersion chamber filled with recording and pipette solutions used in [7]. During the experiments, the slices were at room temperature. The voltage readings from and the current coupling to the neurons were made by a patch-clamp amplifier Axoclamp 2B (Axon Instruments).
16. Longitudinal (parasagittal) slices (300 μm thick) were prepared as described previously [5] from Sprague-Dawley rats of age P13-17. In rat brain slices, about 15% of cells on the average oscillate; for experimental convenience, we selectively chose those with the largest amplitude characteristics.
