Chaotic Attractors in a Model of Neocortex: Dimensionalities of Olfactory Bulb Surface Potentials Are Spatially Uniform and Event Related

  • Conference paper
Book cover Brain Dynamics

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Brain Dynamics ((SSBD,volume 2))

Abstract

The olfactory bulb has both the cell types and the neurochemicals intrinsic to neocortex, but it has a much simpler and better understood neurophysiological structure (Shepherd 1970). The amplitude of the field potential that occurs on the top of each columnar unit is linearly related to the firing probability of the immediately underlying output cell (Freeman and Schneider 1982; Gray et al. 1984, 1986). Thus the recording of all such surface potentials, at the spatial frequency of the functional units, makes possible knowledge of the total output of the bulb without having to make massive microelectrode penetrations.
