Firing of different types of NI neurons during state of cortical activation
| Median FR (Hz) | 1st quartile; 3rd quartile (Hz) | Mann–Whitney test | CV | 1st quartile; 3rd quartile | Mann–Whitney test | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cortical activation | Tph-indep. | Irregular, slow-firing (n = 71) | 7.7 | 5.2; 17.6 |
p < 0.0001* U = 543.0 |
0.68 | 0.51; 0.9 |
p < 0.0001* U = 0.0 |
| Regular, fast-firing (n = 46) | 26.5 | 16.0; 37.4 | 0.19 | 0.17; 0.21 | ||||
| Tph-locked | Bursting (n = 55) | 42.6 | 27.5; 59.7 |
p < 0.0001* U = 39.0 |
1.1 | 0.9; 1.34 |

| Nonbursting (n = 25) | 5.5 | 4.5; 11.6 | 0.8 | 0.7; 1.0 |
Tph, Theta phase; indep., independent; FR, firing rate;
*, significant difference.
