Abstract
Earlier experiments have shown changes in evoked cortical responses with dc surface polarization (1–4, 8, 12, 14). The purpose of this paper is: 1) to show the intracortical profile of the dc field that is produced by a series of steady currents applied to a point in the cortex, 2) to show the changes in the epileptiform discharge at various levels in the cortex during deep dc polarization, and 3) to discuss one way in which these changes may be interpreted.
