This video demonstrates the recording of rhythmic neuronal network activity, also known as theta oscillations, in an isolated hippocampus. Electrodes are inserted into various layers and spatial positions to detect and analyze theta oscillations. This shows the unique neuronal compositions and the connectivity of the neuronal network across different layers of the hippocampus.

When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined. Using the equations of force and motion, the amplitude of the driven oscillator is obtained. It depends on the natural and driving frequency. In the equation for amplitude, when the driving frequency is much smaller...

An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by When the switch is closed, the capacitor begins to discharge, producing a current in the circuit. The current, in turn,...

Parametric optomechanical excitations have recently been experimentally demonstrated in microfluidic optomechanical resonators by means of optical radiation pressure and stimulated Brillouin scattering. This paper describes the fabrication of these microfluidic resonators along with methodologies for generating and verifying optomechanical oscillations.
FAQs
In an ideal LC circuit, inductance and capacitance set the natural angular frequency through ω₀ = 1/√(LC). Increasing either parameter lowers this frequency, while decreasing either raises it. Selecting component values therefore controls how rapidly the circuit completes its electrical oscillations, making the relationship important for frequency design, comparison, and analysis.
Resistance gradually reduces the oscillation amplitude by converting part of the circuit’s stored electrical and magnetic energy into heat. Consequently, a real circuit does not maintain the constant-amplitude behavior predicted for an ideal LC system. Accounting for resistance helps explain why observed oscillations weaken with time and why practical circuits differ from ideal calculations.
Energy moves between the capacitor’s electric field and the inductor’s magnetic field as the circuit evolves. Initially stored capacitor energy drives changing current, which strengthens the inductor’s magnetic field; later, the energy returns toward the capacitor as the electrical state changes. This repeated transfer sustains the periodic behavior in the ideal case.
An ideal LC model predicts oscillations whose frequency depends only on L and C, with no gradual loss of amplitude. In an actual circuit, resistance introduces energy dissipation, so the oscillations become smaller over time while their energy is converted to heat. Comparing both models separates the fundamental frequency from practical damping effects.
A simple arrangement begins by charging a capacitor and then connecting it to an inductor. The capacitor’s stored energy initiates changing current, while the inductor develops a magnetic field as the process continues. Observing the circuit over time allows the periodic energy exchange and the gradual amplitude reduction caused by resistance to be examined.
Their predictable frequency makes LC oscillations useful wherever circuits must generate or select electrical frequencies. The principle supports resonance-based systems, tuning circuits, filters, and radio transmitters. By choosing suitable inductance and capacitance values, designers can establish the desired natural frequency and use the resulting behavior to organize or isolate electrical signals.
LC oscillations provide a physics model for tracking how energy shifts between electric and magnetic fields. The model connects measurable circuit quantities with the natural angular frequency and shows how resistance changes an ideal prediction. Because it links field energy, oscillatory motion, and practical circuit behavior, it serves as a foundation for analyzing resonant and frequency-selective technologies.
