Niagara Mohawk Holdings, which is selling its power plants to focus on distributing electricity, announced a plan yesterday that is meant to prevent widespread spikes in consumer bills upstate.
Although in general LFPs appear to better represent subthreshold synaptic currents rather than widespread spiking activity [9], several studies have found that (in the STN at least) the LFP signal is indeed linked to the activity of local neurons [10 12].
In generalised epilepsies, commonly widespread spike-related BOLD decreases have been detected in the cortex [Gotman et al., 2005; Hamandi et al., 2006; Salek-Haddadi et al., 2003].
Sleep causes important modifications of the EEG characteristics of epilepsy, with increased and more widespread interictal spiking occurring during non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep compared to wakefulness or REM sleep (Montplaisir et al., 1987; Sammaritano et al., 1991; Malow et al., 1998).
Widespread volcanism and a spike in atmospheric carbon dioxide wiped out half of the plant species and extinguished early crocodile relatives (crurotarsans) that competed with the earliest dinosaurs.
This property relies on the ability of PF/AF synapses to facilitate and elicit highly-localized calcium bursts, in contrast to the widespread CF-mediated dendritic spike.
On pure calcite, an attack with form of spikes, very widespread but superficial was revealed.
Despite the widespread occurrence of drink spiking, there is (to the authors' knowledge) no published data reporting the common levels of drugs frequently found in beverages laced with ecstasy (especially in Malaysia).
The majority of spikes (209, 77%) were observed during the high amplitude widespread slow waves, the remaining spikes occurring during the control segments (P ≈ 0).
In other areas of high demand, where schools and local authorities have been grappling with a surge in pupil numbers in recent years because of a population spike, there was widespread disappointment.
On an individual level, all patients showed higher numbers of spikes during high amplitude widespread slow waves (range, 58 94%).
