Local Field Potential
Neural recordings from intracortical extracellular microelectrodes consist of two components superimposed on each other:
Action potentials/spikes from single & multi unit activity (300Hz –5kHz)
Slow varying field potentials (1-250 Hz).

• The LFP relates well to sub-threshold integrative processes in dendrites
• It represents the summation of excitatory and inhibitory dendriticsignals and other types of slow activity such as voltage dependent membrane oscillations or spike afterpotentials

Origin of LFP
LFP mostly represents the inputs to a particular brain region and local processing taking place around the recording electrode, while the spikes represent the outputs generated by the region.
Belitski et al. examined correlations between the stimulus and spikes and LFP recorded on the same electrode in the visual cortex of an anesthetized macaque while presenting a color movie [later slide].
Nicolelis et al. reported correlations between spikes and the 8-10 Hz LFP signal.1/31/2015 3Presented By: Md. Kafiul Islam

Our knowledge about the information content in LFPs is limited compared to
the current understanding of neural spiking patterns. Recent work has shown
many correlations between oscillations in the LFP bands and behavior, and
new properties of the signal have been discovered.
LFP and spike responses
during movie stimulation (Belitski
et al. 2008, JNS)Observations:
•1–5 and 72–76 Hz LFPs show
high and significant modulations
of power at several points of the
movie.
•Spike rates clearly encoded the
movie. The high spike rate
episodes appeared to be
associated more
closely with episodes of high
LFP power in the high-gamma
LFP
frequency range than at lower
LFP frequencies.
Conclusion:
•Gamma LFPs may be more
closely related the stimulus
modulated
spiking activity than low LFP

LFP and Spike responses
during movie stimulation (Belitski et
al.): Cont…oThe highest LFP power was at
low frequencies (8 Hz), & the
power decreased steeply at
increasing frequencies.
oThere was an increase of
power of 4 dB with movie
stimulation at very low
frequencies (12 Hz).
oThe evoked and spontaneous
LFP spectrograms were similar
at
frequencies between 12-24 Hz.
oThe most substantial power
increase over spontaneous
activity of the movie-evoked
LFP is in the gamma frequency
region 40–120 Hz1/31/2015 6Presented By: Md. Kafiul Islam
Some Findings:First, we found that LFP frequencies<40 Hz do not share any substantial signal
or noise correlations with higher LFP frequencies or with spikes. This suggests that the power of LFP fluctuations <40 Hz reflect different neural processes from those giving rise to higher-frequency LFPs and to spikes, and that these processes are mostly decoupled in naturalistic stimulation conditions.
Second, we found that LFP bands in the low-frequency range (1–24 Hz) had the strongest noise correlations of the whole LFP frequency range studied, and had relatively little signal correlations. The comparably small amount of signal correlation (i.e. the weak similarity in stimulus selectivity) explains why, although they share a substantial amount of stimulus unrelated variability, the joint information carried by two low LFP frequencies is almost equal to the sum of the two information carried by the individual frequencies.
Third, we found that LFP in the 60–100 Hz high-gamma band shared very little noise correlation during visual stimulation, but shared the highest observed signal correlation across all LFP frequencies. The 60–100 Hz LFP band also had the highest proportional power increase during visual stimulation, and also had a substantial signal correlation with spikes, because a local stimulus-related input would affect both the amount of spiking activity of pyramidal neurons and the engagement of the recurrent loop in the region around the tip of the electrode, which in turn reflects into the high gamma LFP power.

Neuronal Shot Noise and
Brownian 1/f2 Behavior in the LFP (Milstein et al. 2009)
1/31/2015 Presented By: Md. Kafiul Islam 8
The model gives way to two analytically tractable
solutions, both displaying Brownian noise:
1) Uncorrelated cells that display sharp
initial activity, whose extracellular fields slowly
decay in time: (Slow Dendro-Synaptic Decay)
2) Rapidly firing, temporally correlated
cells that generate UP-DOWN states (like Brownian
noise in telegraph process ) :
LFP as an input to BMI (MS Thesis by
Gireeja, 2009, UCB)
Coherence calculations show that beta oscillations are pervasive in
the cortex during the hold period of Manual Control (MC).
The power in the beta band of the LFP is significantly modulated by
direction during MC
Beta oscillations can be used to predict the stationarity of the task
cursor in both MC and BC

LFP as an input to BMI: Different Oscillations
Beta Oscillations:
We still lack a clear understanding of the functionality of beta oscillations. Results obtained
so far suggest that beta oscillations may serve as:
idle oscillations, a default state that the cortex reverts to when no other important
events are happening
a carrier wave for communication
a timing signal for spike synchronization across brain regions
a ‘planning’ oscillation
Gamma Oscillations:
Gamma coherence relates to behavior and information transfer
Spike-field coherence and oscillatory synchrony may sub serve neuronal communication
Gamma band spike-field coherence in the visual cortex has been shown to increase with
attention to a stimulus
The degree of gamma synchronization prior to and during a behavioral change was
correlated with response times to that change.
Gamma frequency oscillations may also predict spike response latency.

Neuronal Oscillations in Cortical
Networks (Science; Buzsáki, et al. 2004)
Mammalian cortical neurons form behavior-
dependent oscillating networks of various sizes
covering freq from 0.05 Hz to 500 Hz.
Recent findings indicate that network oscillations
bias input selection, temporally link neurons into
assemblies, and facilitate synaptic plasticity.
Even single neurons are capable with complex
dynamics, including their intrinsic abilities to
resonate and oscillate at multiple frequencies,
which suggests that precise timing of their activity
within neuronal networks could represent
information.
