Abstract

Previous studies, based on the use of single and multiple microelectrodes, have indicated that neuronal activity propagates in cortical and thalamic networks. Such propagation may take place spontaneously (13, 14, 15, 16, 17) or may be triggered by sensory stimulation (9, 12, 16). In the latter case it may, within certain limits, be “driven” at the frequency of stimulation (9, 16).
