Journal ArticleDOI

Recruitment of parvalbumin-positive interneurons determines hippocampal function and associated behavior.

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

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

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

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.
