Response magnitude of barrel cortex neurons to constant- and noisy-amplitude trains. In both A and B, firing rates were normalized to 1 for constant-amplitude stimuli at 1 Hz, 100 μm. (A) Whole-train firing rates for constant- and noisy-amplitude stimuli, measured from train onset until 50 ms after final deflection, with the data associated with different deflection frequencies pooled. (B) Whole-train firing rates for constant- and noisy-amplitude trains, measured from train onset until 50 ms after final deflection, with the data associated with different deflection amplitudes pooled. Error bars in A and B indicate SEM across electrodes.
