cell capacitance

hello out there,

has anybody tried to determine the cell capacitance of neocortical or 
hippocampal cells in slice preparations in order to make estimates about 
the membrane area?
I would be interested in the magnitude of these values. In addition I 
would appreciate any comment on the determination of membrane area by 
integrating capacity transients. How reliable is this method in contrast 
to light microscopy measurements of the cell surface?
TIA
Alex
