Anatomy, Physiology, and Synaptic Responses of Rat Layer V Auditory Cortical Cells and Effects of Intracellular GABAA Blockade
These findings indicate that IB cells receive less GABAA-mediated inhibitory input and are able to spike or burst in response to thalamocortical synaptic stimulation far more readily than RS cells.

Anatomy and Physiology of Principal Cells of the Medial Nucleus of the Trapezoid Body (MNTB) of the Cat
The goal in these in vivo experiments was to answer the questions described above by characterizing the basic response features of cat MNTB cells, with glass electrodes, and to subsequently label the cell with either HRP or neurobiotin.
