Fig. 2. Response obtained with a low intensity molecular layer stimulation. (A)
Left: reconstruction of a medium ganglionic (MG) layer cell showing its
extension through the layers of ELL, as a reference for the events shown in
the right panel. mol, molecular layer; gang, ganglionic layer; plex, plexiform
layer; gran, granular layer. Right: one-dimensional current-source density
(CSD) pseudocolor map with field potential recordings superimposed. Green to
red are sinks and green to blue are sources as is shown with the color bar on
the right. (B) Plot of current density evolution with time, for the two
locations marked by white dotted lines in the CSD pseudocolor map in A: at 550
mm(upper line) in the molecular layer, and at 110 mm (bottom line) in the
ganglionic layer. A second order exponential function (red dotted line) was
fitted to the molecular layer CSD profile decay and the corresponding time
constants
1 and
2 are shown above the
graph.
