Fig. 2: Electrophysiological firing patterns and fiber inputs of Tac2^tdTom neurons.

a, d Schematic of the patch-clamp recording of Tac2^tdTom neurons selected from lamina IIi (a) and lamina IIIo (d). b, e Representative trace of tonic firing pattern (b) and phasic-bursting firing pattern (e) at 40 pA. Rheobase was 20 pA. c Percentages of different type of firing patterns of Tac2^tdTom neurons in lamina IIi. n = 74 neurons. f Percentages of different type of firing patterns of Tac2^tdTom neurons in lamina IIIo. n = 36 neurons. g Representative traces showing one Tac2^tdTom neuron in lamina IIi receiving poly-low threshold-Aδ input. It could not follow 20 μA/2 Hz stimulation. The latency was between 6 and 10 ms. h Percentage of each type of input onto Tac2^tdTom neurons in lamina IIi. n = 50 neurons from 5 mice. i Representative traces showing one Tac2^tdTom neuron in lamina IIIo receiving mono-Aβ input. It followed 20 μA/20 Hz stimulation. The latency was less than 6 ms. j Percentage of each types of input onto Tac2^tdTom neurons in lamina IIIo. n = 46 neurons from 5 mice.
