Source of EEG: (A) A potential of pyramidal cells, (B) A potential of ganglion cells, (C) EPSP and IPSP of cortical cells which behave like dipoles, (D) After potentials of parietal cortex
Answer is C. (C) EPSP and IPSP of cortical cells which behave like dipoles > The dendrites of the cortical cells are a forest of similarly oriented, densely packed units in the superficial layers of the cerebral cortex.> Propagated potentials can be generated in dendrites. In addition, recurrent axon collaterals end on dendrites in the superficial layers.> As excitatory and inhibitory endings on the dendrites of each cell become active, current flows into and out of these current sinks and sources from the rest of the
