Spontaneous and evoked firing rates of mouse LGN neurons.

<p>A) Distributions of spontaneous (triangle) and evoked (square) firing rates of single cells. Solid lines show medians with interquartile ranges; the medians were 2.0 spikes/sec and 7.3 spikes/sec for spontaneous and evoked firing rates respectively. The horizontal position of data points is for clarity in showing the distribution, and conveys no further meaning. B) Correlation of spontaneous (x) and evoked (y) responses. The red line marked with stars represent y = x. Solid line shows the least squares best-fit line, y = 2.25x, and dashed lines the 95% confidence interval 2.08–2.42. <i>R</i>² = 0.31.
