Summary experimental results for VPM, L4 excitatory and L4 FS neurons.

Data are taken from [37]. The increase of the average spike rate of L4 excitatory neurons from non-whisking to whisking conditions was found to be insignificant. Values are reported as mean ± standard deviation. In comparison to VPM neurons, the average response of L4 excitatory neurons is reduced by a factor of 2 in response to touch and by a factor of 20–30 in response to whisking onset.

本研究数据取自文献[37]。经检测，第四层兴奋性神经元（L4 excitatory neurons）的平均锋电位发放率在从非胡须摆动状态切换至胡须摆动条件时，未呈现显著性变化。所有统计值均以均值±标准差的形式报告。相较于丘脑腹后内侧核（VPM）神经元，第四层兴奋性神经元的平均响应幅度在触刺激下仅为前者的1/2，在胡须摆动起始刺激下则仅为前者的1/20~1/30。
