Thalamic deep brain stimulation paradigm to reduce consciousness: Cortico-striatal dynamics implicated in mechanisms of consciousness
Fig 8
Neural firing rates decrease during VPC relative to control conditions.
Spike rate differences normalized to the pre-condition (± SE of the point estimate) for different brain areas under VPC, control stare (STR), post, resting wake (RW), and fixation (FX) conditions. Neurons were analyzed in resting wake, fixation, and pre/post-event epochs only for neurons recorded during VPC or STR events (NCL = 60, NCN = 19, NFd = 15, NFs = 38, NLd = 46, NLs = 21).
