Abstract
This talk will focus on different aspects of the Local Field Potential (LFP) signal. Classically, LFP fluctuations are related to changes in the functional state of the cortex. Yet, the mechanisms linking LFP changes with the state of the cortex are not well understood. The presentation will start with a brief explanation of the main oscillatory components of the LFP signal, how these different oscillatory components are generated at cortical microcircuits, and how their dynamics can be studied across multiple areas. Thereafter, a case study of a patient with akinetic mutism will be presented, linking cortical states with the behavior of the patient, as well as some preliminary results about how the LF cortical microcircuit dynamic changes modulate different cortical states and how these changes are reflected in the LFP signal
