There is a biophysical causation from local field potentials to neural spikes
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 94/100
Extensive neurophysiological evidence demonstrates that local field potentials and neural spiking activity are biophysically coupled, with field oscillations frequently constraining, synchronizing, and predicting individual neuronal firing patterns.
