Gamma rhythms are commonly observed in many brain regions during both waking and
sleep states, yet their functions and mechanisms remain a matter of debate. Here we review …

This review summarizes the brain mechanisms controlling sleep and wakefulness.
Wakefulness promoting systems cause low-voltage, fast activity in the …

Synchronized oscillations and inhibitory interneurons have important and interconnected
roles within cortical microcircuits. In particular, interneurons defined by the fast-spiking …

Abstract Cortical gamma oscillations (20-80 Hz) predict increases in focused attention, and
failure in gamma regulation is a hallmark of neurological and psychiatric disease. Current …

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 …

Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

We experience objects as whole, complete entities irrespective of whether they are
perceived by our sensory systems or are recalled from memory. However, it is also known …

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 …

In the hippocampus GABAergic local circuit inhibitory interneurons represent only~ 10–15%
of the total neuronal population; however, their remarkable anatomical and physiological …

The dynamics of networks of sparsely connected excitatory and inhibitory integrate-and-fire
neurons are studied analytically. The analysis reveals a rich repertoire of states, including …
