The experimental framework used in the work.
(A) A sagittal section showing two black lines, indicating the brain regions were the multielectrode recording probes are inserted. Adapted from “The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic coordinate, 6th edition”, Paxinos, G., Watson, C. (B) The multielectrode matrix used in the experimental recordings which produced recordings like those exemplified in (C). We estimated the interactions of neuronal micropopulations by applying the 
function for each electrode signal couple thus obtaining an adjacency matrix as in (E) that correspond to the graph in (F). (G) The anaesthetized animal with the two matrix probes inserted into the brain. (H) The rat right hind limb paw where the tactile stimulations were performed in the five sites (blue dots) through the device showed in (I).
