Collective synchronous spiking in a brain network of coupled nonlinear oscillators

VL Galinsky, LR Frank - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
A network of propagating nonlinear oscillatory modes (waves) in the human brain is shown
to generate collectively synchronized spiking activity (hypersynchronous spiking) when both …

Critically synchronized brain waves form an effective, robust and flexible basis for human memory and learning

VL Galinsky, LR Frank - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
The effectiveness, robustness, and flexibility of memory and learning constitute the very
essence of human natural intelligence, cognition, and consciousness. However, currently …

How connection probability shapes fluctuations of neural population dynamics

NE Greven, J Ranft, T Schwalger - arXiv preprint arXiv:2412.16111, 2024 - arxiv.org
Mean-field models of neuronal populations in the brain have proven extremely useful to
understand network dynamics and response to stimuli, but these models generally lack a …

Phase offset determines alpha modulation of gamma phase coherence and hence signal transmission

PE Greenwood, LM Ward - Biosystems, 2022 - Elsevier
We find conditions for optimal phase coherence among sums of phase-offset sine wave
pairs of two frequencies, eg, gamma and alpha. Optimal phase coherence occurs when the …

Hydrodynamics of pulsating active liquids

T Banerjee, T Desaleux, J Ranft, É Fodor - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.19955, 2024 - arxiv.org
Inspired by dense contractile tissues, where cells are subject to periodic deformation, we
formulate and study a generic hydrodynamic theory of pulsating active liquids. Combining …

An electrodynamic wave model for the action potential

VL Galinsky, LR Frank - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.18051, 2024 - arxiv.org
An alternative to the standard Hodgkin-Huxley model for the axon action potential is
presented. It is based upon our recently developed theory of electric field wave propagation …

Beta oscillations and waves in motor cortex can be accounted for by the interplay of spatially structured connectivity and fluctuating inputs

L Kang, J Ranft, V Hakim - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Abstract The beta rhythm (13–30 Hz) is a prominent brain rhythm. Recordings in primates
during instructed-delay reaching tasks have shown that different types of traveling waves of …
