T-type Calcium Channels Cause Bursts of Spikes in Motor but not Sensory Thalamic Neurons during Mimicry of Natural Patterns of Synaptic Input

Although neurons within intact nervous systems can be classified as ‘sensory’ or ‘motor,’ it is not known whether there is any general distinction between sensory and motor neurons at the cellular or molecular levels. Here we extend and test a theory according to which activation of certain subtype...
