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

Working memory is the fundamental function by which we break free from reflexive input-
output reactions to gain control over our own thoughts. It has two types of mechanisms …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

Visual cortical areas subserve cognitive functions by interacting in both feedforward and
feedback directions. While feedforward influences convey sensory signals, feedback …

Sensory processing, short-term memory, and decision-making often deal with multiple items,
or options, simultaneously. I review evidence suggesting that the brain handles such …

Gamma rhythm (which has a center frequency between 30 and 80Hz) is modulated by
cognitive mechanisms such as attention and memory, and has been hypothesized to play a …

Neuronal systems have a high propensity to engage in oscillatory activity because both the
properties of individual neurons and canonical circuit motifs favour rhythmic activity. In …

Abstract Gamma‐band activity (30–90 Hz) and the synchronization of neural activity in the
gamma‐frequency range have been observed in different cortical and subcortical structures …

Recent discoveries on the organisation of the cortical connectome together with novel data
on the dynamics of neuronal interactions require an extension of classical concepts on …

Several recent studies have demonstrated that the bottom-up signaling of a visual stimulus
is subserved by interareal gamma-band synchronization, whereas top-down influences are …
