Neuronal activity in rat barrel cortex underlying texture discrimination. by Moritz von Heimendahl, Pavel M Itskov, Ehsan Arabzadeh, Mathew E Diamond

“…Average firing rate was significantly higher for rough than for smooth textures, and we therefore propose firing rate as the fundamental coding mechanism. The rat, however, cannot take an average across trials, but must make an immediate decision using the signals generated on each trial. …”
