Topic: neural responsiveness

Traveling waves (TWs) in the brain are a form of neural synchrony. They have been observed across various regions, including the visual cortex and hippocampus, during both spontaneous and task-related activities. These waves are believed to play crucial roles in cognitive processes such as sensory perception and working memory. However, most identified TWs propagate along the cortical surface, leaving it unclear whether they also travel through the depth of the cortex. We address this gap by analyzing laminar TWs of macaque visual areas V1 and V4. We analyzed neural activities recorded from mu
