Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques are used in experimental and clinical fields for
their potential effects on brain network dynamics and behavior. Transcranial electrical …

During various states of vigilance, brain oscillations are grouped together through reciprocal
connections between the neocortex and thalamus. The coherent activity in corticothalamic …

In this first intracellular study of neocortical activities during waking and sleep states, we
hypothesized that synaptic activities during natural states of vigilance have a decisive impact …

Entrainment, broadly defined, is a phenomenon in which two or more independent rhythmic
processes synchronize with each other. To illuminate the significance of entrainment for …

An in vivo preparation has been developed to study the mechanisms underlying
spontaneous sleep oscillations. Dual and triple simultaneous intracellular recordings were …

In response to visual stimulation, a subset of neurons in the striate and prestriate cortex
displays synchronous rhythmic firing in the gamma frequency band (20 to 70 hertz). This …

1. In neocortical slices, the majority of neurons fire quite regularly in response to constant
current injections. But neurons in the intact animal fire irregularly in response to constant …

Data from in vivo and in vitro experiments are discussed to emphasize that synaptic activities
in neocortex and thalamus have a decisive impact on intrinsic neuronal properties in intact …

To facilitate the characterization of cortical neuronal function, the responses of cells in cat
area 17 to intracellular injection of current pulses were quantitatively analyzed. A variety of …

This experimental study on anesthetized cats used intracellular recordings of cortical,
thalamocortical and reticular thalamic neurons (n= 54), as well as multi-site extracellular …
