Tuning of the membrane potential. (A) Membrane potential of a sample excitatory neuron from the same network with EPSP = 0.2 mV, at the medium contrast. Traces of the membrane potential are plotted for 1 s of response to the preferred (red) and its orthogonal (cyan) stimulus orientation. The histograms of the membrane potential for 6 s of stimulation are shown on the right. (B) Traces of the membrane potential along with the elicited spikes for 12 orientations, for 1 s of recording. The tuning curves of the mean membrane potential (red) and the corresponding firing rate (black) is computed from 6 s of stimulation in the right panel.
