Figure 1. Two distinct neuron populations in the NCM.

Figure 1

(a) A representative example of spike clusters and spike waveforms of BS (broad spiking) and NS (narrow spiking) neurons. Scale bars, 1 ms (horizontal), 0.2 mV (vertical). (b) Spike widths of NCM neurons are bimodally distributed (n=658 neurons) BS neuron: 0.50±0.08 ms, n=469, NS neuron: 0.21±0.05 ms, n=189, (mean±s.d.), Mann–Whitney U-test, P<0.001. (c) Spontaneous firing rate (FR, spikes s−1) of NS and BS neurons. Mean±s.d., n=189 and 469 for NS and BS neurons, respectively, *P<0.001 by Mann–Whitney U-test.
