The hippocampal local field potential (LFP) shows three major types of rhythms: theta, sharp
wave–ripples and gamma. These rhythms are defined by their frequencies, they have …

Background Neuronal networks in the brain include glutamatergic principal neurons and
GABAergic interneurons (GABA, γ-aminobutyric acid). The latter may be a minority cell type …

Theta and gamma frequency oscillations occur in the same brain regions and interact with
each other, a process called cross-frequency coupling. Here, we review evidence for the …

Sensory systems must rely on powerful mechanisms for organizing complex information. We
propose a framework in which inhibitory alpha oscillations limit and prioritize neuronal …

To survive in a complex world, it is important that unattended, but salient, input can still draw
one's attention. In this article, we suggest that posterior alpha oscillations (8–13Hz) provide …

In the mammalian brain information processing and storage rely on the complex coding and
decoding events performed by neuronal networks. These actions are based on the …

Gamma oscillations are thought to temporally link the activity of distributed cells. We discuss
mechanisms of gamma oscillations in the hippocampus and review evidence supporting a …

Abstract Parvalbumin-positive (PV+) GABAergic interneurons in hippocampal microcircuits
are thought to play a key role in several higher network functions, such as feedforward and …

What causes the positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia? The
importance of circuits is underscored by the finding that no single gene contributes strongly …

Synapses are complex because they perform multiple functions, including at least six
mechanistically different forms of plasticity. Here, I comment on recent developments …
