Propagating Waves in Visual Cortex
نویسنده
چکیده
Spatiotemporal patterns of cortical activation occur superimposed upon sensory, motor, and cognitive maps. The papers by Benucci et al. and Xu et al. in this issue of Neuron demonstrate that visual responses propagate in space and may serve to link different visual areas. This is an important step toward understanding how cortical maps relate to activation patterns, a prerequisite to understanding visual cortex function.

The stimulus-evoked population response in visual cortex of awake monkey is a propagating wave
Propagating waves occur in many excitable media and were recently found in neural systems from retina to neocortex. While propagating waves are clearly present under anaesthesia, whether they also appear during awake and conscious states remains unclear. One possibility is that these waves are systematically missed in trial-averaged data, due to variability. Here we present a method for detecti...
متن کاملGeneration and Control of Propagating Waves in Visual Cortex
Visual stimuli evoke waves of electrical activity that propagate across the visual cortex of freshwater turtles. Analyses using the Karhunen-Loéve method reveal that the spatiotemporal dynamics of the waves encode information about the stimuli. This study used a large-scale mathematical model of turtle visual cortex to understand how cellular elements of the cortex control the generation and pr...
متن کاملFast propagating waves within the rodent auditory cortex.
Central processing of acoustic signals is assumed to take place in a stereotypical spatial and temporal pattern involving different fields of auditory cortex. So far, cortical propagating waves representing such patterns have mainly been demonstrated by optical imaging, repeatedly in the visual and somatosensory cortex. In this study, the surface of rat auditory cortex was mapped by recording l...
متن کاملReverberation of Recent Visual Experience in Spontaneous Cortical Waves
Spontaneous waves of activity propagating across large cortical areas may play important roles in sensory processing and circuit refinement. However, whether these waves are in turn shaped by sensory experience remains unclear. Here we report that visually evoked cortical activity reverberates in subsequent spontaneous waves. Voltage-sensitive dye imaging in rat visual cortex shows that followi...
متن کاملCompression and Reflection of Visually Evoked Cortical Waves
Neuronal interactions between primary and secondary visual cortical areas are important for visual processing, but the spatiotemporal patterns of the interaction are not well understood. We used voltage-sensitive dye imaging to visualize neuronal activity in rat visual cortex and found visually evoked waves propagating from V1 to other visual areas. A primary wave originated in the monocular ar...
متن کاملSeismic Behavior of 2D Semi-Sine Shaped Hills against Vertically Propagating Incident Waves
This paper presents the preliminary results of an extensive parametric study on seismic response of two-dimensional semi-sine shaped hills to vertically propagating incident P- and SV-waves. Clear perspectives of the induced diffraction and amplification patterns are given by investigation of time-domain and frequency-domain responses. It is shown that site geometry, wave characteristics , and ...
