I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

Spike timing is thought to play a critical role in neural computation and communication.
Methods for adjusting spike timing are therefore of great interest to researchers and …

New technologies to record electrical activity from the brain on a massive scale offer
tremendous opportunities for discovery. Electrical measurements of large-scale brain …

Phase-synchronization is a manifestation of interaction between neuronal groups
measurable from LFP, EEG or MEG signals, however, volume conduction can cause the …

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 …

A central motif in neuronal networks is convergence, linking several input neurons to one
target neuron. In visual cortex, convergence renders target neurons responsive to complex …

In recent years, studies ranging from single-unit recordings in animals to
electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography studies in humans have …

Sensory systems must rely on powerful mechanisms for organizing complex information. We
propose a framework in which inhibitory alpha oscillations limit and prioritize neuronal …

Oscillations in brain activity have long been known, but many fundamental aspects of such
brain rhythms, particularly their functional importance, have been unclear. As we review …
