Local field potentials are induced by visually evoked spiking activity in macaque cortical area MT

Abstract Local field potentials (LFP) have been the focus of many recent studies in systems neuroscience. However, the exact neural basis of these signals remains unclear. To address this question, we determined the relationship between LFP signals and another, much better understood, signature of n...
