The theta rhythm is one of the largest and most sinusoidal activity patterns in the brain. Here
I survey progress in the field of theta rhythms research. I present arguments supporting the …

The traditional belief is that the event-related alpha response can solely be described in
terms of suppression or event-related desynchronization (ERD). Recent research, however …

Classic studies of spatial attention assumed that its neural and behavioral effects were
continuous over time. Recent behavioral studies have instead revealed that spatial attention …

Central oscillators are primordial neural circuits that generate and control rhythmic
movements,. Mechanistic understanding of these circuits requires genetic identification of …

Neural interface technology has made enormous strides in recent years but stimulating
electrodes remain incapable of reliably targeting specific cell types (eg excitatory or …

Spatial orientation and navigation rely on the acquisition of several types of sensory
information. This information is then transformed into a neural code for space in the …

Whisking and sniffing are predominant aspects of exploratory behaviour in rodents. Yet the
neural mechanisms that generate and coordinate these and other orofacial motor patterns …

In the visual system of primates, different neuronal pathways are specialized for processing
information about the spatial coordinates of objects and their identity—that …

Linking activity in specific cell types with perception, cognition, and action, requires
quantitative behavioral experiments in genetic model systems such as the mouse. In head …

Rats sweep their vibrissae through space to locate objects in their immediate environment.
In essence, their view of the proximal world is generated through pliable hairs that tap and …
