TL;DR: It is shown that epileptiform bursts, including double and multiple bursts, containing VFO occur in rat auditory cortex in vitro, in the presence of kainate, when both GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptors are blocked.

TL;DR: A beta2 frequency oscillation occurring in vitro in networks of layer V pyramidal cells, the cells of origin of the corticospinal tract, depends on gap junctional coupling, but it survives a cut through layer 4 and, hence, does not depend on apical dendritic electrogenesis.

TL;DR: A frequency transformation in which activity in two co-active local circuits may combine sequentially to generate a third frequency whose period is the concatenation sum of the original two is discussed, suggesting a robust mechanism for combining information processed on multiple concurrent spatiotemporal scales.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fast rhythmic bursting neurons may function by providing a large-scale input to an axon plexus consisting of gap-junctionally connected axons from both FRB neurons and their anatomically similar counterparts regular spiking neurons.

TL;DR: It is concluded that many observed changes in markers for GABAergic function in schizophrenia may be secondary to deficits in NMDA receptor-mediated excitatory synaptic activity, and the broad range of changes in cortical dynamics seen in schizophrenia might be more directly attributable to underlying deficits in glutamatergic neuronal communication.
