the linear model, in particular spikes (Figure 8.2d). We use a manually selected<br />

threshold criterion (typically around 20 mV) to identify spikes. The compensated<br />

membrane potential of the cell, which we use for subthreshold analyses, is Vraw−Ve<br />

(Figure 8.2e).<br />

The electrode compensation technique subtracts the voltage drop through the<br />

electrode that is produced by the injected current. However, it does not impact the<br />

filtering effect of the electrode, due to the non-zero response time (time constant<br />

τe). For this reason, spike height (difference between peak and spike threshold)<br />

varied systematically with the estimated electrode time constant τe (for cells C1-<br />

6 : 64 mV, 49 mV, 33 mV, 75 mV, 79 mV, 57 mV ; electrode time constant was 3<br />

ms for C3 and 1.1 ms for C2, and
