A simple technique, combining Fourier transforms and correlation coefficients yields unambiguous determinations of the frequencies without a priori filtering. This procedure also provides quantitative information concerning interactions between frequencies. Fundamental frequencies in local field potential data acquired from the hippocampus, cortex, and striatum from awake, behaving rats were calculated using this technique. Characteristic frequencies identified using this technique from hippocampus and cortex agreed with known oscillations. Application to dorsal striatal local field potentials identified a low-frequency theta component as well as a narrow gamma band oscillation at 50-55 Hz. Measuring fundamental frequencies in local field potentials. B Masimore J Kakalios AD Redish doi:10.1016/j.jneumeth.2004.03.014 J Neurosci Methods, Vol. 138, No. 1-2.
