  1. Bursting potential was assessed using the percentage of spikes in burst (SIB). Classification was performed based on their burst potential, defined by the SIB percentage obtained from 150–180 s of spontaneous activity. Three clusters were defined: low (below 20%), intermediate (21 to 50%) and highly bursty (above 50%). Bursting mode was considered for SIB values over a 1% threshold. Data were expressed as mean ± SD, with n representing the number of bursty neurons; ns indicated not significant difference. 1: Mean analysis and value dispersion between the two dopaminergic populations were performed using an unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction (t, df = 1.58,11.22; p = 0.142) and an F test (F, DFn, Dfd = 4.584,14,3; p = 0.236), respectively
