ANIMAL Macaca mulatta
PREP anesthetized (sufentanil, isoflurane), paralyzed (vecuronium)
DATA TYPE extracellular spike times
CELL TYPE V1 simple and complex, orientation-tuned
N 5 cells (active)

Stimulus

The stimulus was barray.

Electrophysiological Methods

Methods are largely similar to those use by: Bair W, Movshon JA (2004, J Neurosci 24:7305--7323). One notable difference was that isoflurane was used in addition to sufentanil.

Published analyses of these responses

None.
