It is well known that the rhythmic activity of the cerebral cortex is closely associated with a highly organized circulation of neuronal impulses through the networks in which the activity develops. The present study has attempted to determine by quantitative methods, the consistency of this circulation and of its association with the cortical waves, over relatively long periods. Cortical gross waves and neuronal activity have been recorded by means of arrays of extracellular microelectrodes, in freely moving cats as well as in cats immobilized with flaxedil. Autocorrelations have been performed on trains of rhythmic waves and on associated clusters of action potentials; cross-correlations and multiple correlations have been performed between waves and action potentials and between action potentials generated by different groups of neurons. It has been found that the rhythmicity of the waves, the rhythmicity of the associated clusters of action potentials, the time and phase relations between them, and the circulation of neuronal activity through the networks, remain highly consistent over periods as long as two hours.
众所周知，大脑皮层的节律性活动与通过其活动所产生的网络进行的高度有组织的神经元冲动循环密切相关。本研究试图通过定量方法确定这种循环及其与皮层波的关联在相对较长时期内的一致性。利用细胞外微电极阵列记录了自由活动的猫以及用三碘季铵酚固定的猫的皮层粗波和神经元活动。对节律性波列和相关的动作电位簇进行了自相关分析；对波与动作电位之间以及不同神经元群产生的动作电位之间进行了互相关和多重相关分析。已经发现，波的节律性、相关动作电位簇的节律性、它们之间的时间和相位关系以及神经元活动通过网络的循环，在长达两小时的时间段内保持高度一致。
