A-C, high-conductance single-channel currents activated by NMDA (50 μM) and glycine (10 μM) in an outside-out patch. B, cursor-fitted amplitude histogram at -70 mV. The histogram was fitted with the sum of two Gaussian components. Chord conductances were 58 pS (main state, 88 %) and 46 pS. Reversal potential, -11.7 mV. C, open-open transitions at -70 mV. D and E, block of high-conductance channels by ifenprodil (10 μM) in another high-conductance channel patch. D, currents were activated by glutamate (10 μM, glycine 10 μM). Vh, -70 mV. E, stability plot of charge transfer through channels plotted every 1 s. Left, control (mean, -2407 fC s−1). Right, in the presence of ifenprodil (mean, -236 fC s−1). Stability was confirmed by Spearman's rank order correlation test (5 % confidence limit).
