Figure 2. Light‐evoked changes in the ISO pattern in the LGN.

Figure 2

Period of ISO activity was shaped by lighting conditions: the significant sustained period shortening evoked by darkness was apparent for DLG (*** P = 0.0001, paired t test) and VLG (** P = 0.0073, Wilcoxon test). The period shortening in darkness resulted from narrowed intrabursts (DLG: * P = 0.0452; VLG: **** P < 0.0001, paired t tests) rather than extrabursts. No evident firing rate modulation by lighting conditions was seen in DLG. However, the firing rate in intra‐ but not the extraburst phase was lowered in darkness in VLG (* P = 0.0179, Wilcoxon test). As a result of the absence of the ISO pattern in IGL in darkness, we were unable to compare lighting conditions in this group. [Color figure can be viewed at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com]
