From: Cortical modulation of sensory flow during active touch in the rat whisker system
Corticofugal activity can be divided into whisking- and contact-related signals. a Medians (thick lines) and interquartile ranges (shaded regions) of contact-evoked Pr5 neuronal firing rates (without normalization) for all units recorded from lesioned (red) and intact (blue) animals. Only units with non-zero baseline firing rates were pre-selected for this analysis (n = 47, lesioned; n = 23, intact). Effect sizes (AUC) comparing pairs of bins at corresponding times between the two groups of animals are shown in inset (black line). Bins showing a significant difference between intact and lesioned animals are denoted by green dots. Vertical dashed lines show time zero (contact), whereas horizontal dashed line in inset denotes an effect size of 0.5 (no effect). b, c Identical PSTHs and effect size plots computed separately for whisking (b) and non-whisking trials (c)
