‐Dynamic representation of whisker deflection by synaptic potentials in spiny stellate and pyramidal cells in the barrels and septa of layer 4 rat somatosensory cortex

Abstract

Whole-cell voltage recordings were made in vivo from excitatory neurons (n= 23) in layer 4 of the barrel cortex in urethane-anaesthetised rats. Their receptive fields (RFs) for a brief whisker deflec...
