Field Cortical neurones Thalamic neurones



active (n = 25) silent (n = 25) active (n = 73) silent (n = 73) active (n = 21) silent (n = 21)
Mean median nerve 12.8 ± 0.8 17.3 ± 0.9 11.4 ± 1.7 13.7 ± 2.5 7.6 ± 0.3 7.6 ± 0.2
Median nerve range 12.2–14.1 15.5–21.2 9.0–17.2 9.6–20.5 7.2–8.0 7.3–7.9
Medial lemniscus mean  6.7 ± 1.1  5.2 ± 1.8  8.3 ± 2.1 (n = 7) 0.71 ± 0.07 0.71 ± 0.07
Medial lemniscus range 4.5–7.7 −2.7–7.8  3.5–11.2 (n = 7) 0.6–0.9  0.6–0.9

The first maximum of depth-negativity was used to calculate the latency of field potential responses. The onset of synaptic response was used to calculate the latency of synaptic responses.
