Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …

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

The Morris–Lecar (M–L) equations are an important neuron model that exhibits classes I
and II excitabilities when system parameters are set appropriately. Although many papers …

Electrical and chemical synapses exist within the same networks of inhibitory cells, and each
kind of synapse is known to be able to foster synchrony among oscillating neurons. Using …

We review the principal assumptions underlying the application of phase-response curves
(PRCs) to synchronization in neuronal networks. The PRC measures how much a given …

Experience-dependent plasticity in the brain requires balanced excitation–inhibition. How
individual circuit elements contribute to plasticity outcome in complex neocortical networks …

During fast oscillations in the local field potential (40–100 Hz gamma, 100–200 Hz sharp-
wave ripples) single cortical neurons typically fire irregularly at rates that are much lower …

We performed a systematic analysis of phase locking in pairs of electrically coupled
neocortical fast-spiking (FS) and low-threshold-spiking (LTS) interneurons and in a …

Electrical synapses are neuronal gap junctions that are ubiquitous across brain regions and
species. The biophysical properties of most electrical synapses are relatively simple …

Understanding the coordination of multiple parts in a complex system such as the brain is a
fundamental challenge. We present a theoretical model of cortical coordination dynamics …
