Mechanism of fibrillation potentials in denervated mammalian skeletal muscle.

This report concerns the origin and mechanism of fibrillation potentials. It is proposed that these potentials do not necessarily arise from degenerated endplate organs. The precursor is the rhythmic oscillations of the membrane potential. This mechanism may also occur in the case of epileptic discharges from epileptic cells in the cerebral cortex.

Synchronization of unit activity in the cerebral cortex.

Simultaneous recording with micropipette electrodes from different units in the cerebral cortex revealed that units seldom fired synchronously. However, there was a temporal relationship in unit firing even when the cortex was "aroused." This relationship was most apparent when strychnine and stimulation were applied to a sensory nerve of an animal asleep or under deep anesthesia.
