Local Field Potential Oscillations as a Cortical Soliloquy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Synchronized network activity can be recorded as fluctuations in the local field potential (LFP). In this issue of Neuron, Fröhlich and McCormick suggest that cortical LFPs themselves contribute to synchronization of the very network that generates them. Thus, in monitoring these brain waves, we may be listening to the cortex talking to itself.

Afferent inputs to cortical fast-spiking interneurons organize pyramidal cell network oscillations at high-gamma frequencies (60-200 Hz).
High-gamma activity, ranging in frequency between ∼60 Hz and 200 Hz, has been observed in local field potential, electrocorticography, EEG and magnetoencephalography signals during cortical activation, in a variety of functional brain systems. The origin of these signals is yet unknown. Using computational modeling, we show that a cortical network model receiving thalamic input generates high-g...
متن کاملIntra-cortical propagation of EEG alpha oscillations
The most salient feature of spontaneous human brain activity as recorded with electroencephalography (EEG) are rhythmic fluctuations around 10Hz. These alpha oscillations have been reported to propagate over the scalp with velocities in the range of 5-15m/s. Since these velocities are in the range of action potential velocities through cortico-cortical axons, it has been hypothesized that the o...
متن کاملDifferential responses of hippocampal subfields to cortical up-down states.
The connectivity of the hippocampal trisynaptic circuit, formed by the dentate gyrus, the CA3 and the CA1 region, is well characterized anatomically and functionally in vitro. The functional connectivity of this circuit in vivo remains to be understood. Toward this goal, we investigated the influence of the spontaneous, synchronized oscillations in the neocortical local field potential, reflect...
متن کاملScanning impedance microscopy (SIM): A novel approach for AC transport imaging
Scanning Impedance Microscopy (SIM) is one of the novel scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques, which has been developed to taking image from sample surface, providing quantitative information with high lateral resolution on the interface capacitance, and investigating the local capacitance–voltage (C–V) behavior of the interface and AC transport properties. The SIM is an ordinary AFM equip...
متن کاملThe missing link: analogous human and primate cortical gamma oscillations.
Recent animal studies highlighting the relationship between functional imaging signals and the underlying neuronal activity have revealed the potential capabilities of non-invasive methods. However, the valuable exchange of information between animal and human studies remains restricted by the limited evidence of direct physiological links between species. In this study we used magnetoencephalo...
