(30-50 Hz) rhythms in thalamic neurons 3.5. Functional consequences of …

Attempting to understand how the brain, as a whole, might be organized seems, for the first
time, to be a serious topic of inquiry. One aspect of its neuronal organization that seems …

We have previously shown that beta-band EEG activity is related to attentional modulation in
the visual system of cats and humans. In a separate experiment we also observed that some …

The thalamus is an obligatory station through which nearly all sensory information must pass
before reaching the cerebral cortex. One of the major functions of the thalamus is the …

The alpha (8-13 Hz), beta (15-25 Hz) and gamma (30-60 Hz) bands of the EEG have been
long studied clinically because of their putative functional importance. Old experimental …

THE function of the massive feedback projection from visual cortex to its thalamic relay
nucleus1, 2 has so far eluded any clear overview. This feedback exerts a range of effects3 …

Two vesicular glutamate transporters (VGluTs) have been identified at the molecular level
very recently and revealed to possess similar pharmacological characteristics for glutamate …

The mammalian thalamus forms an obligatory relay for nearly all sensory information that
reaches the cerebral cortex. The transmission of sensory information by the thalamus varies …

The cerebral cortex and thalamus constitute a unified oscillatory machine displaying
different spontaneous rhythms that are dependent on the behavioral state of vigilance. In …

Previous investigations in various motor and sensory cortical areas have shown that fast
oscillations (20-80 Hz) of focal electroencephalogram and multiunit activities occur …
