TLDR
The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep, and perturbation of the default patterns by experience.Abstract:
Prelude. Cycle 1. Introduction. Cycle 2. Structure defines function. Cycle 3. Diversity of cortical functions is provided by inhibition. Cycle 4. Windows on the brain. Cycle 5. A system of rhythms: from simple to complex dynamics. Cycle 6. Synchronization by oscillation. Cycle 7. The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep. Cycle 8. Perturbation of the default patterns by experience. Cycle 9. The gamma buzz: gluing by oscillations in the waking brain. Cycle 10. Perceptions and actions are brain state-dependent. Cycle 11. Oscillations in the "other cortex:" navigation in real and memory space. Cycle 12. Coupling of systems by oscillations. Cycle 13. The tough problem. References.read more

Gefei Chen,Axel Abelein,Harriet Nilsson,Axel Leppert,Yuniesky Andrade-Talavera,Simone Tambaro,Lovisa Hemmingsson,Lovisa Hemmingsson,Firoz Roshan,Michael Landreh,Michael Landreh,Henrik Biverstål,Philip J.B. Koeck,Jenny Presto,Hans Hebert,André Fisahn,Jan Johansson +16 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Bri2 BRICHOS monomers potently prevent neuronal network toxicity of Aβ, while dimers strongly suppress Aβ fibril formation, suggesting a means to generate molecular chaperone diversity.

Biogenic amines and collective organization in a superorganism: neuromodulation of social behavior in ants.
TL;DR: This review examines the role of neuromodulation in significant sociobiological characteristics of ants, including reproductive hierarchies, colony foundation, social food flow, nestmate recognition, territoriality, and size- and age-related sensory perception and task performance as well as the involvement of monoamines in collective intelligence.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Essay on Understanding the Mind
TL;DR: A theory of mental activity that respects both the contents of thought and the dynamics of thinking is sketches, which gives rise to a far more fluid, complementary mode of operation in which it is possible for apparent contraries to coexist in the mind at the same time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of reference scheme on power and phase of the local field potential
TL;DR: The results show that using different reference schemes can have drastic effects on phase differences and PSD slopes and therefore must be interpreted carefully to gain insights about network properties.

Spatio-temporal dynamics of oscillatory network activity in the neonatal mouse cerebral cortex.
Jyh-Jang Sun,Heiko J. Luhmann +1 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that a sufficiently large network in thick neocortical slice preparations is capable of generating spontaneous and evoked network oscillations, which are highly synchronized via gap junctions in 200–400‐µm‐wide columns.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.
Book
The Fractal Geometry of Nature
TL;DR: This book is a blend of erudition, popularization, and exposition, and the illustrations include many superb examples of computer graphics that are works of art in their own right.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The relation of strength of stimulus to rapidity of habit-formation
Robert M. Yerkes,John D. Dodson +1 more
TL;DR: In connection with a study of various aspects of the modifiability of behavior in the dancing mouse a need for definite knowledge concerning the relation of strength of stimulus to rate of learning arose, the experiments which are now to be described arose.

EEG alpha and theta oscillations reflect cognitive and memory performance: a review and analysis
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested to adjust the frequency windows of alpha and theta for each subject by using individual alpha frequency as an anchor point, based on this procedure, a consistent interpretation of a variety of findings is made possible.
