Fig. 5. The membrane potential of thalamic neurons displays more powerful fast rhythmic activities between SM oscillations and SWDs than between spindle-like oscillations.

Fig. 5

Intracellular recordings of spontaneously occurring membrane potential oscillations in thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) and thalamocortical (TC) neurons, which occur before the occurrence of SM oscillations (in a NEC rat under neuroleptic analgesia), the occurrence of absence-related SWDs (in GAERS, under neuroleptic analgesia), and the occurrence of spindle-like oscillations (in a NEC rat after barbiturate treatment). These recordings were obtained while applying DC hyperpolarizing current of at least −1 nA. Adapted from (Pinault et al. 2006).
