In order to understand the working brain as a network, it is essential to identify the
mechanisms by which information is gated between regions. We here propose that …

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 …

To understand dynamic cognitive processes, the high time resolution of EEG/MEG is
invaluable. EEG/MEG signals can play an important role in providing measures of functional …

While neurons principally mediate brain function, astrocytes are emerging as cells with
important neuromodulatory actions in brain physiology. In addition to homeostatic roles …

Electrical recordings in humans and monkeys show attentional enhancement of evoked
responses and gamma synchrony in ventral stream cortical areas. Does this synchrony …

Attention typically amplifies neuronal responses evoked by task-relevant stimuli while
attenuating responses to task-irrelevant distracters. In this context, visual distracters …

Visual working memory (VWM) is used to maintain sensory information for cognitive
operations, and its deficits are associated with several neuropsychological disorders. VWM …

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has consistently been implicated in cognitive
control of motor behavior. There is, however, considerable variability in the exact location …

Visual area V4 is a midtier cortical area in the ventral visual pathway. It is crucial for visual
object recognition and has been a focus of many studies on visual attention. However, there …

Alpha-frequency band (8–14 Hz) oscillations are among the most salient phenomena in
human electroencephalography (EEG) recordings and yet their functional roles have …
