Network oscillations of different frequencies, durations and amplitudes are hypothesized to coordinate information processing and transfer across brain areas. Among these oscillations, hippocampal sharp wave-ripple complexes (SPW-Rs) are one of the most prominent. SPW-Rs occurring in the hippocampus are suggested to play essential roles in memory consolidation as well as information transfer to the neocortex. To-date, most of the knowledge about SPW-Rs comes from experimental studies averaging responses from neuronal populations monitored by conventional microelectrodes. In this work, we investigate spatiotemporal characteristics of SPW-Rs and how microelectrode size and distance influence SPWR recordings using a biophysical model of hippocampus. We also explore contributions from neuronal spikes and synaptic potentials to SPW-Rs based on two different types of network activity. Our study suggests that neuronal spikes from pyramidal cells contribute significantly to ripples while high amplitude sharp waves mainly arise from synaptic activity. Our simulations on spatial reach of SPW-Rs show that the amplitudes of sharp waves and ripples exhibit a steep decrease with distance from the network and this effect is more prominent for smaller area electrodes. Furthermore, the amplitude of the signal decreases strongly with increasing electrode surface area as a result of averaging. The relative decrease is more pronounced when the recording electrode is closer to the source of the activity. Through simulations of field potentials across a high-density microelectrode array, we demonstrate the importance of finding the ideal spatial resolution for capturing SPW-Rs with great sensitivity. Our work provides insights on contributions from spikes and synaptic potentials to SPWRs and describes the effect of measurement configuration on LFPs to guide experimental studies towards improved SPW-R recordings.

Noise reduction using anisotropic diffusion filter in inverse electrocardiology. Gavgani, Alireza Mazloumi; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2012-01-01) Filtering has been widely used in biomedical signal processing and image processing applications to cancel noise effects in signals recorded from the body. However, it is important to keep the desired characteristics of the physiological signal of interest while suppressing the noise characteristics. In this study, we used anisotropic diffusion filter (ADF) to cancel the noise on the body surface potentials measurements (BSPM) with the goal of improving the corresponding solutions of the inverse problem of ...
Classical analysis of time behavior of radiation fields associated with biophoton signals Choi, Jeong Ryeol; Kim, Daeyeoul; Menouar, Salah; Sever, Ramazan; Abdalla, M. Sebawe (2016-01-01) BACKGROUND: Propagation of photon signals in biological systems, such as neurons, accompanies the production of biophotons. The role of biophotons in a cell deserves special attention because it can be applied to diverse optical systems.
Estimation of nonlinear neural source interactions via sliced bicoherence Özkurt, Tolga Esat (2016-09-01) Neural oscillations and their spatiotemporal interactions are of interest for the description of brain mechanisms. This study offers a novel third order spectral coupling measure named "sliced bicoherence". It is the diagonal slice of cross-bicoherence allowing an efficient quantification of the nonlinear interactions between neural sources. Our methodology comprises an indirect estimation method, a parametric confidence level formula and a subtracted version for robustness to volume conduction. The methodo...
Spatio-temporal Characteristics of Point and Field Sources in Wireless Sensor Networks Vuran, Mehmet C.; Akan, Ozgur B. (2006-06-15) Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are comprised of densely deployed sensor nodes collaboratively observing and communicating extracted information about a physical phenomenon. Dense deployment of sensor nodes makes the sensor observations highly correlated in the space domain. In addition, consecutive samples obtained by a sensor node are also temporally correlated for the applications involving the observation of the variation of a physical phenomenon. Based on the physical characteristics and dispersion patt...
Broadband solutions of potential integral equations with NSPWMLFMA Khalichi, Bahram; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Ertürk, Vakur B. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-06) In this communication, a mixed-form multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is combined with the recently introduced potential integral equations (PIEs), also called as the A-phi system, to obtain an efficient and accurate broadband solver that can be used for the solution of electromagnetic scattering from perfectly conducting surfaces over a wide frequency range including low frequencies. The mixed-form MLFMA uses the nondirective stable planewave MLFMA (NSPWMLFMA) at low frequencies and the conventio...
