This review focuses on the neuronal and circuit mechanisms involved in the generation of
the theta (θ) rhythm and of its participation in behavior. Data have accumulated indicating …

Introduction: Electrophysiological (EEG) abnormalities in subjects with schizophrenia have
been largely reported. In the last decades, research has shifted to the identification of …

Emotional arousal enhances perception and memory of high-priority information but impairs
processing of other information. Here, we propose that, under arousal, local glutamate levels …

During even the most quiescent behavioral periods, the cortex and thalamus express rich
spontaneous activity in the form of slow (< 1 Hz), synchronous network state transitions …

Only humans can report feeling pain. In contrast, pain in animals is typically inferred on the
basis of nonverbal behaviour. Unfortunately, these behavioural data can be problematic …

Despite decades of research, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) remains a lethal neurodegenerative
disorder for which there are no effective treatments. This review examines the latest …

The mammalian olfactory bulb displays a prominent respiratory rhythm, which is linked to the
sniff cycle and is driven by sensory input from olfactory receptors in the nasal sensory …

Modulation of basic biochemical and physiological processes by the circadian timing system
is now recognized as a fundamental feature of all mammalian organ systems. Within the …

Neural oscillations are rhythmic fluctuations over time in the activity or excitability of single
neurons, local neuronal populations or “assemblies,” and/or multiple regionally distributed …

Mental fatigue (MF) is commonly observed following prolonged cognitive activity and can
have major repercussions on the daily life of patients as well as healthy individuals. Despite …
