CEPN inhibits NSCC currents. (a) The ramp employed to record NSCC currents in single ASMCs. (b) Ramp current values at −70 mV were used to construct current-time traces, which exhibit ACh-induced NSCC currents that were partially blocked by CEPN. (c) The net ramp currents at time points B and C (shown in (b)). (d) At −70 mV, the mean currents at time points B and C. . These data suggest that CEPN partially inhibits NSCCs.
