Fig. 5. IPSP-triggered analysis of spindles in the model.
Traces are aligned by minima of TC cell voltage (see arrow) to show that cortical population activity is phase-locked with TC neurons for each cycle of the spindle oscillation during the middle phase of a spindle.
A. Middle phase of a spindle.
B. Waning phase (end) of a spindle.
C. Raster plots of TC and PY spikes corresponding to the activity in (A), showing that TC and PY activities are phase-locked in the middle of a spindle sequence.
D. Raster plots of TC and PY spikes corresponding to the activity in (B), showing that TC and PY activities are more desynchronized at the end of a spindle sequence.
