Rhythms of the brain

György Buzsáki
TL;DR: The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep, and perturbation of the default patterns by experience.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thalamocortical oscillations in the sleeping and aroused brain

Mircea Steriade, +2 more
- 29 Oct 1993 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of cortical and thalamic networks at many levels, from molecules to single neurons to large neuronal assemblies, with a variety of techniques, is beginning to yield insights into the mechanisms of the generation, modulation, and function of brain oscillations.

The origin of extracellular fields and currents — EEG, ECoG, LFP and spikes

György Buzsáki, +3 more
- 18 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: High-density recordings of field activity in animals and subdural grid recordings in humans can provide insight into the cooperative behaviour of neurons, their average synaptic input and their spiking output, and can increase the understanding of how these processes contribute to the extracellular signal.

Neurophysiological and Computational Principles of Cortical Rhythms in Cognition

Xiao Jing Wang
- 01 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: A plethora of studies will be reviewed on the involvement of long-distance neuronal coherence in cognitive functions such as multisensory integration, working memory, and selective attention, and implications of abnormal neural synchronization are discussed as they relate to mental disorders like schizophrenia and autism.

A novel slow (< 1 Hz) oscillation of neocortical neurons in vivo: depolarizing and hyperpolarizing components

Mircea Steriade, +2 more
- 01 Aug 1993 - 
TL;DR: A novel slow oscillation in intracellular recordings from cortical association areas 5 and 7, motor areas 4 and 6, and visual areas 17 and 18 of cats under various anesthetics is described and synchronous inhibitory periods in both neurons are demonstrated.

Oscillatory responses in cat visual cortex exhibit inter-columnar synchronization which reflects global stimulus properties.

Charles M. Gray, +3 more
- 23 Mar 1989 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that neurons in spatially separate columns can synchronize their oscillatory responses, which has, on average, no phase difference, depends on the spatial separation and the orientation preference of the cells and is influenced by global stimulus properties.

Voltage-dependent block by Mg2+ of NMDA responses in spinal cord neurones.

Mark L. Mayer, +2 more
- 17 May 1984 - 
TL;DR: Using voltage-clamp experiments on mouse spinal cord neurones, it is shown that the voltage-sensitivity of NMDA action is greatly reduced on the withdrawal of physiological concentrations (∼1 mM) of Mg2+ from the extracellular fluid, providing further evidence that Mg 2+ blocks inward current flow through ion channels linked to NMDA receptors.

Stimulus-specific neuronal oscillations in orientation columns of cat visual cortex

Charles M. Gray, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1989 - 
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that local neuronal populations in the visual cortex engage in stimulus-specific synchronous oscillations resulting from an intracortical mechanism, and may provide a general mechanism by which activity patterns in spatially separate regions of the cortex are temporally coordinated.

Central cholinergic pathways in the rat: an overview based on an alternative nomenclature (Ch1-Ch6).

M.-Marsel Mesulam, +3 more
- 01 Dec 1983 - 
TL;DR: It appears that the age-related changes of memory function as well as some of the behavioral disturbances seen in the dementia of Alzheimer's Disease may be related to pathological alterations along central cholinergic pathways.

Coherent oscillations: A mechanism of feature linking in the visual cortex?

Reinhard Eckhorn, +6 more
- 01 Dec 1988 - 
TL;DR: This work assumes that the coherence of SE-resonances is mediated by recurrent excitatory intra- and inter-areal connections via phase locking between assemblies that represent the linking features of the actual visual scene.
