Similarities between desynchronization in rodent and attention in primate

Measurement	Effect of desynchronization or active behaviour in rodent	Effect of attention in primate
Low frequency LFP power	Reduced^{7, 38, 53, 83}	Reduced^{18, 21, 22}
Gamma LFP power	Increased (running, cholinergic stimulation, thalamic stimulation) ^{38, 52–55}; Decreased (dorsal Raphe stimulation) ⁵⁶	Increased (V4)¹⁸; Decreased (V1)²¹
Trial-to-trial variability	Reduced^{31, 132, 176}	Reduced^{19, 20}
Noise correlation	Reduced^{32, 132}	Reduced^{19, 20}
Response size	Reduced (sudden punctuate stimuli)^{130, 170}; Unchanged or enhanced (rapidly repeated or temporally extended stimuli)^{132, 170, 176}	Reduced (unattended stimuli)²⁰⁸; enhanced (attended stimuli)^{12, 13, 16}
