Features of the spike afterhyperpolarization (AHP) recorded intracellularly have been analyzed in fast pyramidal tract neurons of cats. Cell input conductance increases during the AHP, possibly because of a change in potassium conductance, as suggested by an AHP equilibrium potential 10-15 mV negative to the resting membrane potential. When more spikes are evoked in succession, AHPs following the first one are strongly reduced in amplitude. The effect is virtually maximal (30-50% of the control) after a single spike and fades out by 200-400 ms after the last spike. At short interspike intervals the initial time course of the depression is hidden by summation occurring between consecutive AHPs. © 1983.
