Local field potential

202308161934

LFPs represent the low frequency range of the mean extracellular field potentials the slow events reflecting cooperative activity in neural populations Logothetis2003 (src: Nichols2016)

Slow waveforms that include synaptic potentials, afterpotentials of somatodendritic spikes, voltage-gated membrane oscillations

Reflect input of a particular cortical area, as well as its local intracortical processing, including activity of both excitatory and inhibitory interneurons.
