Figure 1.

Thalamic networks are hyperexcitable in stg slices. A, Sample traces of WT (Ai) and stg (Aii) evoked thalamic (VB) multiunit oscillatory activity. Timing of stimulus applied to internal capsule is indicated by black dot. B, Evoked responses in VB and RTN show significantly longer-lasting oscillations in stg (WT, n = 7; stg, n = 14; *p < 0.01, Mann–Whitney test). C, Spontaneous, non-evoked oscillations recorded in VB occurred more frequently in stg than WT (WT, n = 5; stg, n = 7; *p < 0.01, Mann–Whitney test).
