Neural oscillations are evident across cortex but their spatial structure is not well-explored.
Are oscillations stationary or do they form “traveling waves”, ie, spatially organized patterns …

Cortical circuits generate patterned activities that reflect intrinsic brain dynamics that lay the
foundation for any, including stimuli-evoked, cognition and behavior. However, the …

Aggregate signals in cortex are known to be spatiotemporally organized as propagating
waves across the cortical surface, but it remains unclear whether the same is true for spiking …

Recent analyses have found waves of neural activity traveling across entire visual cortical
areas in awake animals. These traveling waves modulate the excitability of local networks …

The activity of neural populations is determined not only by sensory inputs but also by
internally generated patterns. During quiet wakefulness, the brain produces spontaneous …

Propagating waves occur in many excitable media and were recently found in neural
systems from retina to neocortex. While propagating waves are clearly present under …

Slow oscillatory activity (< 1 Hz) is observed in vivo in the cortex during slow-wave sleep or
under anesthesia and in vitro when the bath solution is chosen to more closely mimic …

The brain is organized as a network of highly specialized networks of spiking neurons. To
exploit such a modular architecture for computation, the brain has to be able to regulate the …

We experimentally confirmed predictions that modulation of the neuronal threshold with
electrical fields can speed up, slow down, and even block traveling waves in neocortical …

Cortical circuits work through the generation of coordinated, large-scale activity patterns. In
sensory systems, the onset of a discrete stimulus usually evokes a temporally organized …
