Spike-wave discharges in Sprague–Dawley rats reflect precise intra- and interhemispheric synchronization of somatosensory cortex
Abstract
We simultaneously mapped electrocortical SWDs from both cerebral hemispheres of Sprague–Dawley rats and discovered that they reflect systematic activation of the facial representation of somatosensory cortex. SWDs form mirror spatiotemporal patterns in both hemispheres that are precisely aligned in both space and time. Our data suggest that SWDs may reflect a substrate by which large neural ensembles perform precise spatiotemporal processing of rapidly changing somatosensory input.
