The functional and biophysical properties of a persistent sodium current (I-NaP) previously proposed to participate in the generation of subthreshold oscillations and burst discharge in mesencephalic trigeminal sensory neurons (Mes V) were investigated in brain stem slices ( rats, p7 - p12) using whole cell patch-clamp methods. I-NaP activated around - 76 mV and peaked at - 48 mV, with V-1/2 of -58.7 mV. Ramp voltage-clamp protocols showed that I-NaP undergoes time- as well as voltage-dependent inactivation and recovery from inactivation in the range of several seconds (tau(onset) = 2.04 s, tau(recov) = 2.21 s).
