[Local synchronized activity of neurons of different classes in cat primary visual cortex]
Abstract:
The goal of the present study was to investigate the local synchronized neuronal activity in the cat visual cortex and the role of different classes of neurons in neural synchrony. Four classes of neurons were identified on the basis of electrophysiological properties of extracellular recorded cells: RS, FS, IB and FRB. It was revealed that neurons with short spikes and FRB type of activity were first engaged in synchronization. The model study revealed that neurons with the short action potential had more stable synchronized activity.
