Abstract
We describe two sets of rhythmical field potentials that may be record ed from the neocortex of the behaving cat: those at about 14 Hz ('mu' rhythms), in part of the somatic area SI; others at about 10 Hz ('alph a' rhythms), in part of the visual cortex (lateral gyrus). We report t heir precise localization, their thalamic correlates, their dependence upon a noradrenergic brainstem modulatory mechanism, and finally thei r possible functional significance.
