Figure 5.
Nearest neighbor correlation maps of high-intensity firing (HI) periods at four depths of anesthesia and wakefulness (8% to 0% desflurane) in eight rats. The color of each cell represents the average correlation coefficient of the respective cell with its eight neighbors (fewer neighbors at the array boundaries). Empty cells have no significant correlation. Rats 5–8 displayed burst suppression in the local field potential (LFP) at 8% desflurane that was associated with significantly higher correlation (hypersynchrony) of the HI periods.
