Show abstract
The local field potential (LFP) is generally thought to be dominated by synaptic activity within a few hundred microns of the recording electrode. The sudden onset of a visual stimulus causes a large downward deflection of the LFP recorded in primary visual cortex, known as a visually evoked potential (VEP), followed by rhythmic oscillations in the gamma range (30-80 Hz) that are often in phase with action potentials of nearby neurons. By inactivating higher visual areas that send feedback projections to V1, we produced a large decrease in amplitude of the VEP, and a strong attenuation of gamma rhythms in both the LFP and multi-unit activity, despite an overall increase in neuronal spike rates. Our results argue that much of the recurrent, rhythmic activity measured in V1 is strongly gated by feed-back from higher areas, consistent with models of coincidence detection that result in burst firing by layer 5 pyramidal neurons.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
