What determines the frequency of fast network oscillations with irregular neural discharges? I. Synaptic dynamics and excitation-inhibition balance
When the local field potential of a cortical network displays coherent fast oscillations (∼ 40-
Hz gamma or∼ 200-Hz sharp-wave ripples), the spike trains of constituent neurons are …
