Pauser
Definition:
(n.) One who pauses.
Example Sentences:
(1) In INLL and VNLLm, response patterns are about equally distributed between tonic, chopping, and phasic; there are no single-spike constant-latency responses of the type seen in VNLLc, although some choppers and pausers do respond with constant first-spike latency.
