abstract = {To study information processing in the cerebral cortex,
multiple complementary approaches exist to characterize the
coordinated population dynamics. One approach is to
investigate the correlated spiking activity of individual
neurons. Another approach is to analyze the local field
potential (LFP) as an aggregate signature of the neuronal
population dynamics. However, it is an open question how
these two scales of observation relate to each other.The LFP
activity in the motor cortex exhibits functionally relevant
oscillations in the beta frequency band (e.g. [1]). It has
been shown that the phases of beta oscillations typically
form propagating waves [2, 3]. These are commonly observed
as planar waves that travel across the primary motor cortex,
preferably on a rostral-caudal axis [3]. Significant
patterns of precise synchronous spiking (on a ms scale) that
have been identified in the motor cortex [4] also display a
preferred spatial orientation [5]. Indeed, estimated
functional connectivity measured from spike trains using a
Granger causality approach occurs in a directed manner that
aligns with the mean propagation axis of LFP waves [6].
These findings raise the question of a direct relation
between a single spike pattern and a co-occurring LFP
wave.To investigate this question, we analyzed
multi-electrode-array (Utah array) recordings of the motor
cortex (MI/PMd) from a macaque monkey during an instructed
reach-to-grasp task [7]. In the beta-band LFP recordings
(15-25 Hz), we identified wave directions and planarity
based on the gradient of the instantaneous phase using an
automated analysis pipeline approach (Cobrawap) [8,9].
Independently, we detected all repeating synchronous spike
patterns in the same data sets using the SPADE method [10,
11]. We identified the dominant spatial axis of the
synchronous spike pattern as the first eigenvector of a
principal component analysis (PCA) over the electrode grid
coordinates of the involved neurons. We show that this axis
tends to be perpendicular to the propagation direction of
simultaneously occurring planar waves (cf. Fig.). This
relationship does not only appear on average as suggested by
previous work [5,6] but also on a pattern-by-pattern basis.
Finally, we discuss extensions of this analysis approach to
non-synchronous spike patterns.References:[1]: Kilavik et
