Cognitive functions not only depend on the localization of neural activity, but also on the
precise temporal pattern of activity in neural assemblies. Synchronization of action potential …

Accumulating evidence suggests that the synchronization of neuronal activity plays an
important role in memory formation. In particular, several recent studies have demonstrated …

Slow-wave sleep (SWS) facilitates the consolidation of hippocampus-dependent declarative
memory. Based on the standard two-stage memory model, we propose that memory …

The traditional belief is that brain oscillations are important for human long-term memory,
because they induce synchronized firing between cell assemblies which shapes synaptic …

Increasing evidence suggests that neuronal synchronization in the gamma band (30–100
Hz) may play an important role in mediating cognitive processes. Gamma-band …

Episodic memories hinge upon our ability to process a wide range of multisensory
information and bind this information into a coherent, memorable representation. On a …

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

Phase–amplitude coupling (PAC) has been proposed as a neural mechanism for
coordinating information processing across brain regions. Here we sought to characterize …

Episodic memories are information-rich, often multisensory events that rely on binding
different elements [1]. The elements that will constitute a memory episode are processed in …

To test the hypothesis that neural oscillations synchronize to mediate memory encoding, we
analyzed electrocorticographic recordings taken as 68 human neurosurgical patients …
