Mechanisms underlying the generation of cortical field potentials.
The generation of currents and potentials detectable in the space surrounding cellular elements within central nervous structures is described. The following aspects are especially taken into account: Generator structures, membrane potential changes of single neurons and of single glial cells, generation of potentials in the extracellular space, and types of cortical field potentials.
