Local field potential
A
local field potential
(
LFP
) is an
electrophysiological
signal generated by the summed
electric current
flowing from multiple nearby
neurons
within a small volume of
nervous
tissue
.
Voltage
is produced across the local
extracellular
space by
action potentials
and
graded potentials
in neurons in the area, and varies as a result of
synaptic activity
. "Potential" refers to electrical potential, or voltage, and particularly to voltage recorded with a
microelectrode
embedded within neuronal tissue, typically in the
brain
of an anesthetized animal or within a
thin slice
of brain tissue maintained
in vitro
.
