Beyond dimension reduction: Stable electric fields emerge from and allow representational drift

DA Pinotsis, EK Miller - NeuroImage, 2022 - Elsevier
It is known that the exact neurons maintaining a given memory (the neural ensemble)
change from trial to trial. This raises the question of how the brain achieves stability in the …

TC Foster - Alcohol, 2023 - Elsevier
There is growing interest in understanding how ethanol use interacts with advancing age to
influence the brain and cognition. Animal models are employed to investigate the cellular …

Spontaneous slow wave oscillations in extracellular field potential recordings reflect the alternating dominance of excitation and inhibition

Y Zheng, S Kang, J O'Neill, I Bojak - The Journal of Physiology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
In the resting state, cortical neurons can fire action potentials spontaneously but
synchronously (Up state), followed by a quiescent period (Down state) before the cycle …
