Abstract

Whole-cell recordings from adult rat sympathetic neurons demonstrate that calcium current is comprised of at least three types, N, L '||'&'||' R. We are using cell-attached patch recording to identify the single calcium channels that underlie these macroscopic currents. Single channels were resolved the presence of 100 mM Ba$\^$2+/ and l${\mu}$M BayK 8644 over the voltage range -40 to $\^$+/50 mV.(omitted)
