For instance, the burst/tonic transition might be related to attention and overall vigilance, with burst firing associated more with less vigilant states.
We nonetheless found burst firing present during the vigilant, waking state.
Finally, the proposed advantage of burst firing for signal detection considers only the signal carried by the firing pattern of the relay cell itself.
This complements other reported advantages of burst firing for signal detection seen in signal-to-noise ratios and in the ability to efficiently drive postsynaptic cells.
Development in the absence of spontaneous bioelectric activity results in increased stereotyped burst firing in cultures of dissociated cerebral cortex.
Differential burst firing modes in neurons of the mammalian visual cortex in vitro.
One par ticularly interesting group of action potentials that we have identified by both sets of criteria as tonic firing may in fact represent burst firing.
The conclusion from this work is that the postsynaptic effects of burst firing further enhance its ability compared to tonic firing to signal the presence of a stimulus.
The remaining 19 were made to stand in a line and then burst fired.
