Journal ArticleDOI
Recruitment of parvalbumin-positive interneurons determines hippocampal function and associated behavior.
Elke C. Fuchs,Aleksandar R. Zivkovic,Mark O. Cunningham,Steven J. Middleton,Fiona E. N. LeBeau,David M. Bannerman,Andrei Rozov,Miles A. Whittington,Roger D. Traub,J. Nicholas P. Rawlins,Hannah Monyer +10 more
TL;DR: The effects of insufficient recruitment of fast-spiking cells at the network and behavioral level are shown and the role of this subpopulation for working and episodic-like memory is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-column thalamocortical network model exhibiting gamma oscillations, sleep spindles, and epileptogenic bursts
Roger D. Traub,Diego Contreras,Mark O. Cunningham,Hilary Murray,Fiona E. N. LeBeau,Anita K. Roopun,Andrea Bibbig,W. Bryan Wilent,Michael J. Higley,Miles A. Whittington +9 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A beta2-frequency (20–30 Hz) oscillation in nonsynaptic networks of somatosensory cortex
Anita K. Roopun,Steven J. Middleton,Mark O. Cunningham,Fiona E. N. LeBeau,Andrea Bibbig,Miles A. Whittington,Roger D. Traub +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple origins of the cortical gamma rhythm
TL;DR: It is concluded that most massively parallel brain regions have different mechanisms of gamma rhythm generation, that different mechanisms have distinct functional correlates, and that switching between different local modes of gamma generation may be an effective way to direct cortical communication streams.
Journal ArticleDOI
GABA-enhanced collective behavior in neuronal axons underlies persistent gamma-frequency oscillations
Roger D. Traub,Mark O. Cunningham,Tengis Gloveli,Fiona E. N. LeBeau,Andrea Bibbig,EH Buhl,Miles A. Whittington +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that high-frequency oscillations occurred as a consequence of random activity within the axonal plexus, and interneurons provide a mechanism by which this random activity is both amplified and organized into a coherent network rhythm.
