Elimination of the evoked firing of a striatal neuron in response to passive vertical head movement under metofane anesthesia in rat C44. Right, PSTH was taken with the rat fully anesthetized, 40 min after insertion of a metofane-dampened towel into the behavioral chamber. (Onset of anesthesia was slow because of ventilation present in the chamber.) Then the metofane towel was removed. Left, PSTH was taken 1.3 hr later, 30 min after recovery of all behavioral measures of anesthesia. Dashed vertical line at time 0 indicates the approximate stimulus onset. Stimulus duration was ∼0.8 sec. The evoked response epoch was 0.1 to 0.8 sec; the baseline epoch was −1.0 to 0 sec. Eachtick on the x-axis = 150 msec; 84 trials were in each condition.
