A growing body of animal research suggests that neurons represent information not only in
terms of their firing rates but also by varying the timing of spikes relative to neuronal …

On a regional scale the brain is organized into dynamic functional networks. The activity
within one of these, the default network, can be dissociated from that in other task-specific …

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 …

An integrative theoretical approach about memory related oscillations is presented. The
basic assumptions are that memory related oscillations are probably confined to theta and …

Beta and gamma rhythms have been hypothesized to be involved in global and local
coordination of neuronal activity, respectively. Here, we investigated how cells in rodent …

In this issue of Neuron, Helfrich et al.(2017) demonstrate that phase-amplitude coupling
(PAC) between slow oscillations and spindles is crucial for memory consolidation, and shifts …

Rhythmic synchronization of neurons in the beta or gamma band occurs almost ubiquitously,
and this synchronization has been linked to numerous nervous system functions. Many …

Recent data indicate that the synchronisation of oscillatory activity is relevant for the
development of cortical circuits as demonstrated by the involvement of neural synchrony in …

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 …

This article tries to integrate results in memory research from divergent disciplines such as
cognitive psychology, neuroanatomy, and neurophysiology. The integrating link is seen in …
