Cross-frequency coupling supports the organization of brain rhythms and is present during a
range of cognitive functions. However, little is known about whether and how long-range …

Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) is hypothesized to coordinate neural activity, but its role in
successful memory formation in the human cortex is unknown. Measures of PAC are difficult …

Groups of neurons synchronize their activities during a variety of conditions, but whether this
synchronization is functionally relevant has remained a matter of debate. Here, we survey …

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

The different cell populations of the hippocampus are involved in behaviorregulated
intermittent population bursts (sharp-waves,(SPW) and dentate spikes) and oscillations …

Short-term memory requires communication between multiple brain regions that collectively
mediate the encoding and maintenance of sensory information. It has been suggested that …

Highlights•A mechanism for NREM-mediated homeostatic function is proposed.•The
mechanism relies on sequential activity at the DOWN→ UP transition.•Spiking from high-to …

Neural oscillations in the alpha band (8–12 Hz) are increasingly viewed as an active
inhibitory mechanism that gates and controls sensory information processing as a function of …

Both theoretical and experimental animal work supports the hypothesis that transient
oscillatory synchronization of neuronal assemblies at gamma frequencies (30–100Hz) is …

During the generation of higher-frequency (eg, gamma) oscillations, cortical neurons can
exhibit pairwise tight (< 10 ms) spike synchrony. To understand how synaptic currents …
