The neocortex generates periods of recurrent activity, such as the slow (0.1–0.5 Hz) oscillation
during slow-wave sleep. Here we demonstrate that slices of ferret neocortex maintained …

Sleep is characterized by synchronized events in billions of synaptically coupled neurons in
thalamocortical systems. The activation of a series of neuromodulatory transmitter systems …

Slices of sensorimotor and anterior cingulate cortex from guinea pigs were maintained in vitro
and bathed in a normal physiological medium. Electrophysiological properties of neurons …

▪ Abstract Thalamocortical activity exhibits two distinct states: (a) synchronized rhythmic activity
in the form of delta, spindle, and other slow waves during EEG-synchronized sleep and (b…

1. The physiological and functional features of time‐dependent anomalous rectification
activated by hyperpolarization and the current which underlies it, Ih, were examined in guinea‐…

The pattern of activity and excitability of cortical neurons and neuronal circuits is dependent
upon the interaction between glutamatergic and GABAergic fast-activating transmitter …

▪ Abstract The highly interconnected networks of the mammalian forebrain can generate a
wide variety of synchronized activities, including those underlying epileptic seizures, which …

The vast majority of synaptic connections onto neurons in the cerebral cortex arise from
other cortical neurons, both excitatory and inhibitory, forming local and distant ‘recurrent’ …

The highly interconnected local and large-scale networks of the neocortical sheet rapidly and
dynamically modulate their functional connectivity according to behavioral demands. This …

The recurrent excitatory and inhibitory connections between and within layers of the cerebral
cortex are fundamental to the operation of local cortical circuits. Models of cortical function …
