Developmental changes in variance-to-mean ratios during the transient and sustained firing of V1 and V2 neurons. A: PSTH for an adult V1 complex cell from which its variance-to-mean ratio was calculated for transient and sustained components. For the measurement window, the transient firing was sampled for a period of 50 ms around the peak (left Inline graphic) and the sustained discharge was sampled for the same duration (50 ms) at 100 ms prior to the end of 640-ms stimulation (right Inline graphic). B: scatter plots of the variance-to-mean ratios of individual V1 (top) and V2 (bottom) neurons during transient discharge against their variance-to-mean ratios during sustained firing. Frequency histograms and median values (▾) are also illustrated for the transient and sustained components.
