Pause overlapping synchronization mediates greater firing rate increases than pause beginning synchronization. Analysis for 20 ms (A-D) and 40 ms (E-H) synchronous pauses.

<p>In all panels red color stands for pause beginning condition, blue for pause overlapping condition. Error bars are represented by shaded region. (*) represents comparisons between pause beginning and pause overlapping type synchronization that are significant (p<0.05) and (^) represents insignificant comparisons (p> = 0.05). (A&E) Population spike timing histogram of all PNs projecting onto the CN neuron. One can notice synchronous pause of 20 ms (A) or 40 ms (E) for both types of synchronization. (B&F) Mean and standard deviation of increase in firing rate of CN neuron quantified for both pause beginning and pause overlapping conditions and for low input gain. (C&G) Same for medium input gain. (D&H) Same for high input gain.
