Table 1. Comparison of the properties of the slow oscillation in TC neurons of different thalamic nuclei of various species assessed with intracellular recordings.
% is the percentage of neurons exhibiting a slow oscillation.
in the absence of injected d.c. current when most (see Fig. 3 and text) neurons are depolarized above the region where the slow oscillation occurs and exhibit a stable resting membrane potential.
compared to the cat LGN.
compared to mean Vm. As stated in the text, no mouse TC neurons displayed a slow oscillation when assessed with intracellular recordings.
