Experimentally observed STN and GPe firing rates and oscillation frequency in monkey models of Parkinson's disease

Number Experimental measure Nucleus Value n Source
7 Oscillation minimum firing rate STN 0.2 spk/s 1 Bergman et al. (1994)
8 Mean firing rate STN 25.8 ± 14.9 (SD) spk/s 220 Bergman et al. (1994)
9 Oscillation maximum firing rate STN 76.9 spk/s 1 Bergman et al. (1994)
10 Oscillation minimum firing rate GPe 20.7 spk/s 3 Raz et al. (2000)
11 Mean firing rate GPe 44.8 ± 4.6 (SD) spk/s 445 Raz et al. (2000)
12 Oscillation maximum firing rate GPe 117.7 spk/s 3 Raz et al. (2000)
13 Oscillation frequency STN & GPe 15 Hz 220 Bergman et al. (1994); Raz et al. (2000)

The maximum and minimum firing rates of the oscillatory activity for STN and GPe neurons can be extracted from the autocorrelograms used in the cited studies (see supplemental material A, available at www.jneurosci.org). n = number of sample measurements.
