Graduate student Alyssa Sanchez has just published her paper, "Stimulus contrast modulates burst activity in the lateral geniculate nucleus" in Current Research in Neurobiology! 

Here she shows that bursts and tonic spikes in the LGN can differentially encode information about the contrast of a visual stimulus, and that the rate, reliability, and temporal precision of burst spikes increases with stimulus contrast.
