Intracellular recordings from rat somatic sensory vibrissa/barrel cortex demonstrate that whisker displacements evoke short latency excitatory postsynaptic potentials followed by longer lasting inhibitory potentials. The time course and whisker-related spatial distribution of the potentials represent synaptic correlates of the integration of whisker inputs observed in extracellular studies.
