Extracellular Potentials in the Hippocampus

In this thesis, the author investigates the biophysical basis of the local field potential (LFP) as a way of gaining a better understanding of its underlying physiological mechanisms. The results represent major advances in our understanding and interpretation of LFPs and brain oscillations. They highlight the importance of using suitable experimental and analytical methods to explore the activity of brain circuits and point to the LFP as a useful, but complex variable for this purpose.

Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain Gives new insights into local field potentials and brain oscillations Identifies desiderata for effective future studies of brain circuits Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
