This study shows that gamma oscillations in the cat's retinogeniculate system are induced by halothane anesthesia and absent in awake states, suggesting they are artifacts, not functional in vision.

The paper analyzes gamma oscillations in macaque V1, showing they can be modeled by a linear harmonic oscillator driven by noise, capturing amplitude-duration correlations and other features.

The paper identifies a distinct class of bursting neurons in monkey V1 that show strong gamma synchronization and stimulus selectivity, suggesting a role in encoding visual information.
