Transformation in the neural code for whisker deflection direction along the lemniscal pathway.
A prominent characteristic of neurons in the whisker system is their selectivity to the direction in which a whisker is deflected. The aim of this study was to determine how information about whisker direction is encoded at successive levels of the lemniscal pathway. We made extracellular recordings under identical conditions from the trigeminal ganglion, ventro-posterior medial thalamus (VPM),...
متن کاملThe relay of high-frequency sensory signals in the Whisker-to-barreloid pathway.
The present study investigated the operational features of whisker-evoked EPSPs in barreloid cells and the ability of the whisker-to-barreloid pathway to relay high rates of whisker deflection in lightly anesthetized rats. Results show that lemniscal EPSPs are single-fiber events with fast rise times (<500 microsec) that strongly depress at short inter-EPSP intervals. They occur at short latenc...

متن کاملComparison of latency and rate coding for the direction of whisker deflection in the subcortical somatosensory pathway.
The response of many neurons in the whisker somatosensory system depends on the direction in which a whisker is deflected. Although it is known that the spike count conveys information about this parameter, it is not known how important spike timing might be. The aim of this study was to compare neural codes based on spike count and first-spike latency, respectively. We extracellularly recorded...
