▪ Abstract Synchronous activity among ensembles of neurons is a robust phenomenon
observed in many regions of the brain. With the increased use of multielectrode recording …

Spike and local field potential activity were recorded simultaneously from multiple sites in
primary visual cortex of strabismic cats, while monocular stimulation alternated with …

Recently, the classic idea of a 'relational'code in the brain received new impetus from the
observation of stimulus-dependent synchronizations in the visual cortex. Work over the past …

Oscillatory synchrony could be used to establish dynamic links between the various cortical
areas participating in the same cognitive process. Is it possible to detect oscillatory …

Recent theoretical studies have suggested that oscillatory firing patterns with frequencies in
the gamma band (30-70 Hz) may be instrumental for the establishment of synchrony among …

Following the discovery of context-dependent synchronization of oscillatory neuronal
responses in the visual system, the role of neural synchrony in cortical networks has been …

Nearby cortical neurons often have correlated trial-to-trial response variability, and a
significant fraction of their spikes occur synchronously. These two forms of correlation are …

Publisher Summary It has been postulated that the perceived association of visual features
is based on the synchronization of those neural signals that are activated by a coherent …

Synchronized firing in neural populations has been proposed to constitute an elementary
aspect of the neural code, but a complete understanding of its origins and significance has …

Synchronization of neuronal discharges has been hypothesized to play a role in defining
cell assemblies representing particular constellations of stimulus features. In many systems …
