Measuring Phase-Amplitude Coupling Between Neuronal Oscillations of Different Frequencies

TL;DR: This work presents a new measure for assessing phase-amplitude CFC, defined as an adaptation of the Kullback-Leibler distance-a function that is used to infer the distance between two distributions-and calculates how much an empirical amplitude distribution-like function over phase bins deviates from the uniform distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma rhythms and beta rhythms have different synchronization properties.

TL;DR: A simplified model is used to show that the different rhythms in the CA1 region of the hippocampus employ different dynamical mechanisms to synchronize, based on different ionic currents, which are consistent with data suggesting that gamma rhythms are used for relatively local computations whereas beta rhythms are use for higher level interactions involving more distant structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition-based rhythms: experimental and mathematical observations on network dynamics

TL;DR: This review will provide the reader with a brief outline of the basic properties of inhibition-based oscillations in the CNS by combining research from laboratory models, large-scale neuronal network simulations, and mathematical analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theta–gamma coupling increases during the learning of item–context associations

TL;DR: A role for hippocampal theta–gamma coupling in memory recall is suggested after local field potential oscillations recorded from the CA3 region of the dorsal hippocampus of rats as they learned to associate items with their spatial context were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic cross-frequency couplings of local field potential oscillations in rat striatum and hippocampus during performance of a T-maze task

TL;DR: Cross-frequency coupling of multiple neuronal rhythms could be a general mechanism used by the brain to perform network-level dynamical computations underlying voluntary behavior, particularly during decision-making behavioral epochs.
