Intrinsic firing patterns of diverse neocortical neurons

BW Connors, MJ Gutnick - Trends in neurosciences, 1990 - Elsevier
Neurons of the neocortex differ dramatically in the patterns of action potentials they generate
in response to current steps. Regular-spiking cells adapt strongly during maintained stimuli …
