Pyramidal neurons: only<br />

1% of these neurons (low<br />

metabolic dem<strong>and</strong>), if<br />

synchronously active<br />

produce 90% of scalp<br />

<strong>EEG</strong>/<strong>MEG</strong><br />

Some critical remarks<br />

Stellate neurons (15% of neocortical<br />

neurons): strong metabolic/rCBF dem<strong>and</strong><br />

but no scalp <strong>EEG</strong> or <strong>MEG</strong> signals (closed<br />

electromagnetic fields)<br />

Moreover, <strong>MEG</strong>/<strong>EEG</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>fMRI</strong> may be sensitive to different<br />

phenomena (i.e. rhythm modulations vs. regional neural<br />

activation), or be affected by different “boundary” conditions
