Scientific summary

Whatever the mental or behavioral activity is, and even in the absence of sensory stimulus, the cortical network is characterized by an intense activity. This activity is temporally and spatially organized to form a complex dynamic that is affected by behavioral states and attentional processes. We combine electrophysiological approaches in vivo (multisite local field potentials, whole cell patch-clamp recording) with behavioral approaches to study the mechanisms that control the cortical dynamic and its impact on sensory processing.
