Neural Synchrony in Cortical Networks: History, Concept and Current Status

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that indicates that in addition to supporting conscious cognition, neural synchrony is abnormal in major brain disorders, such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma-phase shifting in awake monkey visual cortex

TL;DR: It is found that stronger neuronal activation leads to spikes earlier in the gamma cycle, i.e., gamma-phase shifting is brought about by an interplay between overall excitation and gamma-rhythmic synaptic input and has interesting consequences for neuronal coding, competition, and plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cortical visual areas in monkeys: location, topography, connections, columns, plasticity and cortical dynamics

TL;DR: The visual system is constantly challenged to organize the retinal pattern of stimulation into coherent percepts by the cortical visual system, which is composed by topographically organized analytic areas and by synthetic areas of the temporal lobe that have more holistic processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orientation selectivity and noise correlation in awake monkey area V1 are modulated by the gamma cycle

TL;DR: Spiking activity is produced that carries maximal stimulus selectivity and minimal noise correlation in its firing rate, and at the same time synchronizes this spiking activity for maximal impact on postsynaptic targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synchronization Dynamics in Response to Plaid Stimuli in Monkey V1

TL;DR: The results suggest that the functional architecture of the cortex is a major determinant of the neuronal synchronization dynamics in V1, and may be that single gratings induce strong cooperative interactions among populations of cells that share similar response properties, whereas plaids lead to competition.
