The term spreading depolarization (SD) refers to waves of abrupt, sustained mass
depolarization in gray matter of the CNS. SD, which spreads from neuron to neuron in …

Nonsynaptic interactions between neurons have been eclipsed by our increasingly detailed
understanding of chemical synapses, but they do play significant roles in the nervous …

Interictal electroencephalography (EEG) potentials in focal epilepsies are sustained by
synchronous paroxysmal membrane depolarization generated by assemblies of …

Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are classically thought to be associated with spreading
depression of cortical activity. Here, we found that SDs in patients with subarachnoid …

Epileptic seizures occur as a result of episodic abnormal synchronous discharges in
cerebral neuronal networks. Although a variety of non‐conventional mechanisms may play a …

Changes in membrane voltage brought about by ion fluxes through voltage and transmitter-
gated channels represent the basis of neural activity. As such, electrochemical gradients …

The sensitivity of brain tissue to weak extracellular electric fields is important in assessing
potential public health risks of extremely low frequency (ELF) fields, and potential roles of …

The nervous system performs computations to process information that is biologically
important. Some of these computations occur in maps--arrays of neurons in which the tuning …

Quasi steady‐state electric fields were applied across the isolated turtle cerebellum to study
the relationship between applied field, neuronal morphology and the modulation of the …

Purpose: We propose an experimentally and clinically testable hypothesis, concerning the
origin of very fast (>∼ 70 Hz) EEG oscillations that sometimes precede the onset of focal …
