Unleashing the Power of Electrophysiological Recordings for Understanding Neural Dynamics

Imagine trying to understand a complex recipe without fully examining all the ingredients and steps involved. Similarly, in order to grasp the biological mechanisms underlying seizures in the brain, we need to study them from multiple angles. The authors of a recent study advocate for the use of wide-bandwidth electrophysiological recordings that capture ultraslow potential […]
