Primary study of the relationship between membrane potential slow oscillations and respiration-related discharge patterns.

<p>The percentages of cells exhibiting a specific association between different membrane potential slow oscillation types and various respiration-related discharge pattern types (n = 36) are presented for the control and odor periods. These percentages are indicated in grayscale, in which white represents a null percentage and black indicates 30% of the entire population. The 36 cells that were used to create these matrices are the same cells as those presented in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0043964#pone-0043964-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2</a>. NoMPSO: no oscillation; MPSO+: positive membrane potential slow oscillation; MPSO-: negative membrane potential slow oscillation; MPSOsym: symmetric membrane potential slow oscillation; NoS: non-synchronized pattern, S+: excitatory-simple-synchronized pattern; S-: suppressive-simple-synchronized pattern; Sc: complex synchronized pattern; Null: null activity.
