A fundamental property of cortical neurons is the capacity to exhibit adaptive changes or
plasticity. Whether adaptive changes in cortical responses are accompanied by changes in …

A fundamental feature of information processing in neocortex is the ability of individual
neurons to adapt to changes in incoming stimuli. It is increasingly being understood that …

Visual cortical cells demonstrate both oscillation and synchronization, although the
underlying causes and functional significance of these behaviors remain uncertain. We …

Gamma-band synchronization coordinates brief periods of excitability in oscillating neuronal
populations to optimize information transmission during sensation and cognition …

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

Selective attention lends relevant sensory input priority access to higher-level brain areas
and ultimately to behavior. Recent studies have suggested that those neurons in visual …

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 …

Oscillatory synchrony has been proposed to dynamically coordinate distributed neural
ensembles, but whether this mechanism is effectively used in neural processing remains …

Gamma-band synchronization is abundant in nervous systems. Typically, the strength or
precision of gamma-band synchronization is studied. However, the precise phase with …

When a visual stimulus is repeated, average neuronal responses typically decrease, yet
they might maintain or even increase their impact through increased synchronization …
