TLDR
This work shows how the oscillation frequency is shaped by single neuron resonance, electrical and chemical synapses, and provides an analytical understanding of how these two effects destabilize the fluctuation-driven state and lead to an emergence of global synchronous oscillations.Abstract:
Oscillations play a critical role in cognitive phenomena and have been observed in many brain regions. Experimental evidence indicates that classes of neurons exhibit properties that could promote oscillations, such as subthreshold resonance and electrical gap junctions. Typically, these two properties are studied separately but it is not clear which is the dominant determinant of global network rhythms. Our aim is to provide an analytical understanding of how these two effects destabilize the fluctuation-driven state, in which neurons fire irregularly, and lead to an emergence of global synchronous oscillations. Here we show how the oscillation frequency is shaped by single neuron resonance, electrical and chemical synapses.The presence of both gap junctions and subthreshold resonance are necessary for the emergence of oscillations. Our results are in agreement with several experimental observations such as network responses to oscillatory inputs and offer a much-needed conceptual link connecting a collection of disparate effects observed in networks.read more

TL;DR: By introducing a simple feedback factor in the diffusive coupling, it is shown that the stable (in)homogeneous steady states can be effectively destabilized to restore dynamic behaviours of coupled systems.

Gap junction plasticity as a mechanism to regulate network-wide oscillations.
TL;DR: It is shown that gap junction plasticity can serve as a homeostatic mechanism for oscillations by maintaining a tight balance between two network states: asynchronous irregular activity and synchronized oscillations.

Inhibitory microcircuits for top-down plasticity of sensory representations
TL;DR: A computational model of layer 2/3 primary visual cortex is built and it is suggested that plastic inhibitory circuits change first and then increase excitatory representations beyond the presence of rewards.

Spiking resonances in models with the same slow resonant and fast amplifying currents but different subthreshold dynamic properties
TL;DR: This paper investigates the spiking resonant properties of conductance-based models that are biophysically equivalent at the subthreshold level, but dynamically different (parabolic- and cubic-like voltage nullclines), and demonstrates that the effective time scales that operate at the Subthreshold regime do not necessarily determine the existence of a preferred spiking response to oscillatory inputs in the same frequency band.

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

TL;DR: The timing of a sensory input relative to a gamma cycle determined the amplitude and precision of evoked responses and provided the first causal evidence that distinct network activity states can be induced in vivo by cell-type-specific activation.

The variable discharge of cortical neurons: implications for connectivity, computation, and information coding
TL;DR: It is suggested that quantities are represented as rate codes in ensembles of 50–100 neurons, which implies that single neurons perform simple algebra resembling averaging, and that more sophisticated computations arise by virtue of the anatomical convergence of novel combinations of inputs to the cortical column from external sources.

Neurophysiological and Computational Principles of Cortical Rhythms in Cognition
