Viewpoint Traveling Electrical 	Waves In Cortex, Neuron
 









Abstract: The theory of coupled phase oscillators
provides a framework to understand the emergent properties of
networks of neuronal oscillators. (...) the pattern of electrical
output is (…) traveling plane and rotating waves. The waves
are typically present during periods outside of stimulation
(…).

Excerpt: (...) oscillating membrane potentials provide a
means to heighten the sensitivity of neurons to changes in their
inputs. The scale of voltage changes (…) about 10 mV.
coherent activity among a large number of neurons could aid in the
strengthening or weakening of synaptic connections.
