Neonatal Restriction of Tactile Inputs Leads to Long-Lasting Impairments of Cross-Modal Processing
Fig 6
Directed interactions between S1 and V1 in CON and NWT rats.
(A) Schematic representation of the analyzed direction of interaction from V1 to S1 layers. (B) Time- and frequency-resolved color-coded plots of Granger causality for cross-modal interactions of S (top), G (middle), and I (bottom) layers of the V1 with all S1 layers of CON (left) and NWT rats (right). The panels correspond to the interactions between different layers displayed in (A). In all panels, an increased drive compared to baseline (pre-stimulus) is encoded in red, whereas a decreased drive is encoded in blue. (C) Bar diagrams displaying the relative changes of directionality between V1 and S1 of CON (black) and NWT rats (gray) when averaged for the first 200 ms and the subsequent 800 ms after stimulus. Red dashed lines indicate the level of baseline causality. Significance values (p < 0.05 [*]) correspond to the comparison between CON and NWT rats. (D) Same as (A) for the directed interactions from S1 to V1. (E) Same as (B) for the directed interactions from S1 to V1. (F) Same as (C) for the directed interactions from S1 to V1.
