Purkinje cells respond with complex firing to single‐whisker stimulation (cf. Fig. 10). For each whisker, the number and percentage of responsive cells is indicated (in parentheses: total number of cells tested) and the observed rate of convergence on individual Purkinje cells was compared to chance level, using a bootstrap methods based on the relative prevalence of a stimulus. Indicated are the Z values. All combinations occurred more often than expected (Z > 0). Statistical significance is indicated after Benjamini–Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001.
