Background:

Correlating animal behavior with neuronal activity often involves analyzing local field potential (LFP) recordings.
Spontaneous behaviors and associated neural events occur at variable times, necessitating robust analysis methods for free-running recordings.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a semi-automated MATLAB toolbox for quantitative analysis of brain oscillatory activity in multiple LFP recordings.
To enable the temporal analysis of neuronal activity locked to specific behavioral or experimental events.

Main Methods:

Developed a MATLAB toolbox to analyze time-frequency spectra of LFP epochs.
Algorithm detects oscillatory events, calculates spectral composition, and measures linear coherence between electrode pairs.
Tested on rat hippocampus and amygdala LFPs during awake, sleep (SWS, REMS), and seizure states.

Main Results:

The software reliably detects oscillatory events across user-defined frequency bands, including onset, offset, and duration.
It calculates global spectral composition per subject and linear coherence for inter-regional spectral synchronization.
Generated output files facilitate within- and across-subject analyses.

Conclusions:

The developed toolbox provides a reliable method for analyzing temporal dynamics of brain oscillations in relation to behavior.
It offers a valuable tool for researchers investigating the neural correlates of behavior and brain states.
The freely available software promotes reproducible research in systems neuroscience.
