Stability of Neural Firing in the Trigeminal Nuclei under Mechanical Whisker Stimulation
Figure 4
Population analysis of the dynamical stability of the neuronal response patterns under variation of the air puff duration (stimulus protocol S1). (a) Percentage of cells showing maximal stability for 10, 50, or 100 ms stimuli. Neurons from Pr5 and Sp5i “prefer” 50 ms, whereas Sp5o shows better stability for shorter (10 ms) stimuli. (b) Percentage of the neurons showing an increase (left) or decrease (right) of the response stability under increasing the stimulus duration.
