networks. Here, we describe a new mechanism for large-scale coordination in the human …

Theta lingua franca: A common mid‐frontal substrate for action monitoring processes

JF Cavanagh, L Zambrano‐Vazquez… - …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
We present evidence that a multitude of mid‐frontal event‐related potential (ERP)
components partially reflect a common theta band oscillatory process. Specifically, mid …

Functional role of gamma and theta oscillations in episodic memory

E Nyhus, T Curran - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2010 - Elsevier
The primary aim of this review is to examine evidence for a functional role of gamma and
theta oscillations in human episodic memory. It is proposed here that gamma and theta …

Externally induced frontoparietal synchronization modulates network dynamics and enhances working memory performance

IR Violante, LM Li, DW Carmichael, R Lorenz, R Leech… - elife, 2017 - elifesciences.org
Cognitive functions such as working memory (WM) are emergent properties of large-scale
network interactions. Synchronisation of oscillatory activity might contribute to WM by …

Theta rhythm and the encoding and retrieval of space and time

ME Hasselmo, CE Stern - Neuroimage, 2014 - Elsevier
Physiological data demonstrates theta frequency oscillations associated with memory
function and spatial behavior. Modeling and data from animals provide a perspective on the …

Brain oscillations and memory

E Düzel, WD Penny, N Burgess - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2010 - Elsevier
Oscillatory fluctuations of local field potentials (LFPs) in the theta (4–8Hz) and gamma (25–
140Hz) band are held to play a mechanistic role in various aspects of memory including the …

Gamma oscillations dynamically couple hippocampal CA3 and CA1 regions during memory task performance

SM Montgomery, G Buzsáki - Proceedings of the National …, 2007 - National Acad Sciences
The hippocampal formation is believed to be critical for the encoding, consolidation, and
retrieval of episodic memories. Yet, how these processes are supported by the anatomically …

Brain oscillations control timing of single-neuron activity in humans

J Jacobs, MJ Kahana, AD Ekstrom… - Journal of …, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
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 …
