 Zusammenfassung: Perception and its underlying neurophysiological activity are affected by the current state of the brain. Processing of sensory input has been shown to differ with sleep, depth of anesthesia, and different levels of wakefulness (e.g. locomotion, quiet wakefulness). Along these lines, UP and DOWN states can be distinguished as two discrete, alternating states that occur during slow wave sleep and anesthesia. Recordings from single neurons and populations of neurons within cortical areas suggest that neuronal properties and network dynamics differ between these states, while they are highly similar for the UP state and wakefulness. Here we addressed the question how brain state affects tactile processing on the interregional network level. By comparing ketamine anesthesia to wakefulness and recording intracranial EEG from an epidural 32-microelectrode array overlying barrel cortex (SI) and secondary somatosensory cortex (SII) in rats (n=2), we showed that neuronal responsiveness (i.e. N1 amplitude) in SI was much larger under anesthesia as compared to wakefulness. Additionally, N1 amplitude varied highly under anesthesia and was negatively associated with prestimulus gamma power (60-100Hz). In contrast, SII was only found to be involved in tactile processing during wakefulness. This was likely due to inhibited recurrent processing between SI and SII under anesthesia, which may disrupt interaction between cortical areas while leaving thalamic input to primary sensory cortex intact. Together these preliminary findings suggest that neuronal responsiveness in SI and SII is differentially affected by the current state of the brain, reflecting the complexity of the brain’s ability to control neuronal communication effectively.
