Shifts in Coding Properties and Maintenance of Information Transmission during Adaptation in Barrel Cortex

Neuronal responses to ongoing stimulation in many systems change over time, or "adapt." Despite the ubiquity of adaptation, its effects on the stimulus information carried by neurons are often unknown. Here we examine how adaptation affects sensory coding in barrel cortex. We used spike-tr...
