Figure 9. — Distribution of firing rate along the AP axis. A, Mean peak firing rate of neurons with tuned (T) pads. The firing rate was calculated for the preferred (highest rate) bar orientation of each tuned pad. The peak rates were then averaged across all tuned pads of each neuron. B, Mean firing rate of neurons with untuned excitatory (UE) pads. The mean firing rate (averaged across all 8 bar orientations) was calculated for each untuned excitatory pad and then averaged across all untuned excitatory pads. C, Mean firing rate of neurons with untuned inhibitory (UI) pads. The rates in A-C are deviations from the spontaneous firing rate. D, Mean spontaneous (spont) firing rate of all neurons. Distributions B and D were fit well by Gaussians (p < 0.001).
