Spatiotemporal properties and developmental profile of long oscillations. A, Spatial distribution of long oscillations recorded at 24 recording sites in 20 newborn rats. Note the relatively low incidence of long oscillations in the barrel field. B, Developmental profile of long oscillations in P0–P7 rat S1. Box plots illustrate age-dependent alterations in the occurrence (i), amplitude (ii), duration (iii), and maximal frequency (iv) during the first postnatal week. Long oscillations reveal a significant increase in frequency during the first postnatal week. The values correspond to long oscillations recorded in six P0–P1 pups, seven P2–P3 pups, three P4–P5 pups, and four P6-P7 pups. For additional details, see Figure 3.
