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 …

Does the brain use a firing rate code or a spike timing code? Considering this controversial
question from an epistemological perspective, I argue that progress has been hampered by …

What happens in our brain when we make a decision? What triggers a neuron to send out a
signal? What is the neural code? This textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning …

Neurons in the brain communicate by short electrical pulses, the so-called action potentials
or spikes. How can we understand the process of spike generation? How can we …

In order to model neuronal behavior or to interpret the results of modeling studies,
neuroscientists must call upon methods of nonlinear dynamics. This book offers an …

Abstract See Moll and Engel (doi: 10.1093/aww308) for a scientific commentary on this
article. Brain regions dynamically engage and disengage with one another to execute …

Gamma frequency oscillations are thought to provide a temporal structure for information
processing in the brain. They contribute to cognitive functions, such as memory formation …

The integrate-and-fire neuron model is one of the most widely used models for analyzing the
behavior of neural systems. It describes the membrane potential of a neuron in terms of the …

We introduce a two-dimensional integrate-and-fire model that combines an exponential
spike mechanism with an adaptation equation, based on recent theoretical findings. We …
