Intracellular recordings in vivo have shown that neocortical neurons are subjected to an
intense synaptic bombardment in intact networks and are in a 'high-conductance' state. In vitro …

Slow-wave sleep consists in slowly recurring waves that are associated with a large-scale
spatio-temporal synchrony across neocortex. These slow-wave complexes alternate with brief …

The slow (<1Hz) oscillation, with its alternating ‘up' and ‘down' states in individual neurons,
is a defining feature of the electroencephalogram (EEG) during slow-wave sleep (SWS). …

Using a time series obtained from the electroencephalogram recording of a human epileptic
seizure, we show the existence of a chaotic attractor, the latter being the direct consequence …

To investigate the basis of the fluctuating activity present in neocortical neurons in vivo, we
have combined computational models with whole-cell recordings using the dynamic-clamp …

spikes in neocortical pyramidal neurons in vivo: an intracellular and computational study.…

The electroencephalogram displays various oscillation patterns during wake and sleep
states, but their spatiotemporal distribution is not completely known. Local field potentials (LFPs) …

The remarkably successful quantitative description of the action potential introduced by
Hodgkin and Huxley 1952 is still widely used over 40 years since its introduction. The classical …

In this slim, passionately argued volume-first published to great acclaim in France and
considerably updated during the translation process-a deeply involved witness of the massacres …
