Ectopic mice have a deficit in auditory thalamic sensitivity to noise offsets, but not noise onsets. a, Population responses to 200 ms noise at start of gap-in-noise stimuli (pooled across stimuli with different gap durations). All figures show population PSTHs for ectopic (red) and nonectopic (blue) mice, from neural recordings in ventral MGB (left), dorsal MGB (middle), or medial MGB (right). Filled lines indicate mean ± SE across recordings. Black bars along x-axis represent noise presentation. n, total number of neural recordings across animals. For details of statistical analysis, see Results. b, Population responses to offset of 200 ms noise, for gap-in-noise stimuli with 100 ms gaps. Conventions as in a, but note differences in axis limits.
