Table of electrophysiological landmarks

Landmarks (Fig. 7)Electrophysiological feature
Brain surface/ventricleLack of spiking activity and reduced LFP power in saline or CSF compared
with the brain
Fiber tractReduced activity and smaller spike amplitude compared with cortical regions
CA1 pyramidal cell layerHigher activity and larger amplitude spikes than other parts of the
hippocampus; LFP phase inversion
Hippocampus to thalamus boundaryHigher activity and spike amplitude in thalamic nuclei than hippocampus
Transition from arbor vitae to deep cerebellar nucleiHigher activity and larger spike amplitude in the deep cerebellar nuclei
Medial superior oliveSound related-activity in auditory tasks
Gray matter to white matter transition in the
cerebellum
Reduced activity and lack of units in the white matter compared
with the gray matter
Transition from the vestibular nucleus to other
parts of the medulla
Higher spiking activity of neurons in the vestibular nucleus compared
with other parts of the medulla
