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 …

Decades of rodent research have established the role of hippocampal sharp wave ripples
(SPW-Rs) in consolidating and guiding experience. More recently, intracranial recordings in …

A postulated role of subcortical neuromodulators is to control brain states. Mechanisms by
which different neuromodulators compete or cooperate at various temporal scales remain an …

Oscillations in neural activity play a critical role in neural computation and communication.
There is intriguing new evidence that the nonsinusoidal features of the oscillatory waveforms …

Theta oscillations (4–12 Hz) are thought to provide a common temporal reference for the
exchange of information among distant brain networks. On the other hand, faster gamma …

Problems with sleep affect a large part of the general population, with more than half of all
people in the United States reporting difficulties with sleep or insufficient sleep at various …

Phase-amplitude coupling between theta and multiple gamma sub-bands is a hallmark of
hippocampal activity and believed to take part in information routing. More recently, theta …

In this issue of Neuron, Helfrich et al.(2017) demonstrate that phase-amplitude coupling
(PAC) between slow oscillations and spindles is crucial for memory consolidation, and shifts …

Cortical oscillatory synchrony in the gamma range has been attracting increasing attention
in cognitive neuroscience ever since being proposed as a solution to the so-called binding …

Background The phase–amplitude coupling (PAC) between distinct neural oscillations is
critical to brain functions that include cross-scale organization, selection of attention, routing …
