Several previous studies have shown the existence of Up and Down states and have linked
their magnitude (eg, depolarization level) to the size of sensory-evoked responses. Here, we …

In all sensory systems, information is processed along several parallel streams. In the
vibrissa-to-barrel cortex system, these include the lemniscal system and the lesser-known …

Cortical state modulates the background activity of cortical neurons, and their evoked
response to sensory stimulation. Multiple mechanisms are involved in switching between …

The rodent primary somatosensory cortex is spontaneously active in the form of locally
synchronous membrane depolarizations (UP states) separated by quiescent hyperpolarized …

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) are broadly linked to various aspects of behavior. During sensory
discrimination, PFC neurons can encode a range of task related information, including the …

A 64-channel electrode array was used to study the spatial and temporal characteristics of
fast (> 200 Hz) electrical oscillations recorded from the surface of rat cortex in both awake …

To study integration of converging sensory inputs on single cortical neurons, we performed
intracellular recordings in vivo in the barrel cortex of the barbiturate-anesthetized rat. We …

Local field potential (LFP) recorded with a microelectrode reflects the activity of several
neural processes, including afferent synaptic inputs, microcircuit-level computations, and …

We recorded local field potentials (LFPs) and single-unit activity simultaneously in the
macaque primary visual cortex (V1) and studied their responses to drifting sinusoidal …

Beta oscillations observed in motor cortical local field potentials (LFPs) recorded on
separate electrodes of a multi-electrode array have been shown to exhibit non-zero phase …
