Is There a Common Origin to Surround-Inhibition as Seen Through Electrical Activity Versus Hemodynamic Changes? Focus on “Duration-Dependent Response in SI to Vibrotactile Stimulation in Squirrel Monkey”

Abstract

A common aspect of neocortical electrophysiology is that even a brief and spatially localized stimulus leads to activation that both outlives the stimulus and spreads well beyond the patch of cortex that receives direct afferent input. In this issue of the Journal of Neurophysiology , Simons et al
