Table 3.

Discharge activity of LRSS neurons by neuron type (Unisensory auditory or tactile; Multisensory Subthreshold auditory or tactile; Multisensory Bimodal (Auditory + Tactile)). Values indicate average (standard error) response in units of spikes/second (Hz; spontaneous) or spikes/trial (stimulus A, T or AT). Asterisks indicate significant (p<0.05, Tukey-Kramer test) difference with values in same column.

Neuron type	Number (%)	Spontaneous (Hz)	Response (A)	Response (T)	Response (AT)
Auditory	43 (12.6)	24.3 (20.3)	3.5 (0.5)		3.5 (0.6)
Tactile	64 (18.8)	35.9 (36)		3.5 (0.5)	3.5 (0.5)
Subthr Auditory	4 (1.2)	14.5 (11.6)*	3.4 (1.6)		3.9 (1.9)
Subthr Tactile	16 (4.8)	44.6 (41.7)		3.7 (0.9)	3.9 (1.0)
Bimodal Aud-Tact	213 (62.6)	31.2 (30.5)	3.9 (0.2)	5.2 (0.2)*	5.9 (0.5)*
All sensory neurons	340 (100)	31.6 (1.7)	3.6 (0.2)	4.5 (0.2)	5.1 (0.2)
