Abstract

Computational modeling with biologically-plausible parameters has shown an association between the coherence of local field potentials (LFP) in two cortical areas and the consistency of their spatial firing patterns. In this study, the dynamic properties of this association were evaluated. The association was strong for each input sequence, step change in input, repetitive alternation of input, and continuous change of input. The time constant of the spatially consistent firing was ~100 ms, and this was thought to be related to a winner-take-all process among the neuronal subpopulations in each area. Furthermore, the results of the phase-coupling analysis suggested that waves slower than 10 Hz in the LFPs produced a time window for transmitting the spatial firing patterns between areas.
