Humans possess an ability to perceive and synchronize movements to the beat in music
('beat perception and synchronization'), and recent neuroscientific data have offered new …

The human connectome will provide a detailed mapping of the brain's connectivity, with
fundamental insights for health and disease. However, further understanding of brain …

External rewards such as food and money are potent modifiers of behaviour,. Pioneering
studies established that these salient sensory stimuli briefly interrupt the tonic discharge of …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) provides the structural basis for numerous higher cognitive
functions. However, it is still largely unknown which mechanisms provide the functional …

Ongoing fluctuations of neuronal activity have long been considered intrinsic noise that
introduces unavoidable and unwanted variability into neuronal processing, which the brain …

Objective. Non-invasive measurement of human neural activity based on the scalp
electroencephalogram (EEG) allows for the development of biomedical devices that …

In the motor cortex, beta oscillations (∼ 12–30 Hz) are generally considered a principal
rhythm contributing to movement planning and execution. Beta oscillations cohabit and …

Electrical synapses are the neurophysiological product of gap junctional pores between
neurons that allow bidirectional flow of current between neurons. They are expressed …

Phase-amplitude coupling between theta and multiple gamma sub-bands is a hallmark of
hippocampal activity and believed to take part in information routing. More recently, theta …

The axons of the sensory, or afferent, vagus nerve transmit action potentials to the central
nervous system in response to changes in the body's metabolic and physiological status …
