Examples of typical extracellular single-unit responses obtained from VPM and VPL thalamic nuclei. (A) A VPL neuron responds tonically to tactile stimulation of upper lip. (B) A neuron from the VPM nucleus responded with spikes on whisker stimulus ON. (C) A neuron from the VPL nucleus responded with spikes on both stimulus ON and stimulus OFF applied to hind paw. Three upper traces in (A), (B) and (C) show typical responses to tactile stimulation of thalamic neurons. Below, the peristimulus spike histogram (bin 1 ms).
