Figure 3.

Duration of the DS (number of 1-ms bins where the response is significantly larger than the baseline DS). The duration of both the positive (A) and negative (B) parts of the DS increased during the application of gabazine. (C) Mean and standard deviation of the duration for all the cases pooled together, in the control (solid fill) and gabazine (pattern fill) conditions. (D) Mean and standard deviation of the duration, grouped by DS type. The duration of the negative part of the DS was shorter than the duration of the positive part for most neurons, both in the control (E) and the gabazine (F) conditions. The axes in these panels have been plotted at different scales for a better visualization of the data. (G) Mean and standard deviation of the different firing pattern groups for the monophasic or (H) multiphasic units, including units in both the control and gabazine conditions. Mono, monophasic; Multi, multiphasic. S-S, standard and deviant sustained; S-O, standard sustained and deviant onset; O-S, standard onset and deviant sustained; O-O, standard and deviant onset. Asterisks indicate p < 0.05. For all the scatter plots in this and similar figures, n = 92 unless stated otherwise. In this and similar figures, some of the significance brackets have been collapsed into a complex bracket, to reduce clutter. They indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between the group at the square end and every group under an arrowhead.
