Clocks tick, bridges and skyscrapers vibrate, neuronal networks oscillate. Are neuronal
oscillations an inevitable by-product, similar to bridge vibrations, or an essential part of the …

Recent studies suggest that cross-frequency coupling (CFC) might play a functional role in
neuronal computation, communication and learning. In particular, the strength of phase …

Understanding brain circuits begins with an appreciation of their component parts—the cells.
Although GABAergic interneurons are a minority population within the brain, they are crucial …

The proper functioning of the adult mammalian brain relies on the orchestrated regulation of
neural activity by a diverse population of GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)-releasing neurons …

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 …

Mesocotical dopamine (DA) inputs to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) play a crtical role in normal
cognitive process and neuropsychiatic pathologies. This DA input regulates aspects of …

Neuronal oscillations allow for temporal segmentation of neuronal spikes. Interdependent
oscillators can integrate multiple layers of information. We examined phase–phase coupling …

GABA-containing interneurons are crucial to both the development and function of the
cerebral cortex. Unlike cortical projection neurons, which have a relatively conserved set of …

Distinct subtypes of inhibitory interneuron are known to shape diverse rhythmic activities in
the cortex, but how they interact to orchestrate specific band activity remains largely …

We revisit recent evidence showing that nasal respiration entrains oscillations at the same
frequency as breathing in several regions of the rodent brain. Moreover, respiration …
