Traveling theta waves in the human hippocampus

H Zhang, J Jacobs - Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The hippocampal theta oscillation is strongly correlated with behaviors such as memory and
spatial navigation, but we do not understand its specific functional role. One hint of theta9s …

A sensorimotor role for traveling waves in primate visual cortex

TP Zanos, PJ Mineault, KT Nasiotis, D Guitton… - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
Traveling waves of neural activity are frequently observed to occur in concert with the
presentation of a sensory stimulus or the execution of a movement. Although such waves …

Phase-amplitude coupling supports phase coding in human ECoG

AJ Watrous, L Deuker, J Fell, N Axmacher - Elife, 2015 - elifesciences.org
Prior studies have shown that high-frequency activity (HFA) is modulated by the phase of
low-frequency activity. This phenomenon of phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) is often …

Auditory rhythms entrain visual processes in the human brain: evidence from evoked oscillations and event-related potentials

N Escoffier, CS Herrmann, A Schirmer - NeuroImage, 2015 - Elsevier
Temporal regularities in the environment are thought to guide the allocation of attention in
time. Here, we explored whether entrainment of neuronal oscillations underpins this …

A general framework for dynamic cortical function: the function-through-biased-oscillations (FBO) hypothesis

G Schalk - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
A central goal of neuroscience is to determine how the brain's relatively static anatomy can
support dynamic cortical function, ie, cortical function that varies according to task demands …
