It is postulated that synchronous firing of cortical neurons plays an active role in cognitive
functions of the brain. An important issue is whether pyramidal neurons in different cortical …

Neuronal oscillations and cross‐frequency interactions in the rat hippocampus relate in
important ways to memory processes and serve as a model for studying oscillatory activity in …

Successful behavior depends on effective communication between distant brain regions.
Moreover, disturbance of effective communication can cause neurological symptoms like …

Both amplitude and phase of rhythmic slow-wave electroencephalographic activity are
physiological correlates of learning and memory in rodents. In humans, oscillatory amplitude …

Key points Understanding the balance between synaptic excitation and inhibition in cortical
circuits in the brain, and how this contributes to cortical rhythms, is fundamental to explaining …

In the past decade the importance of synchronized dynamics in the brain has emerged from
both empirical and theoretical perspectives. Fast dynamic synchronous interactions of an …

Different cortical dynamics of alpha oscillations (8–13 Hz) have been associated with
increased working memory load, which have been mostly interpreted as a neural correlate …

In a series of experiments, we have begun to investigate the effect of music as a mnemonic
device on learning and memory and the underlying plasticity of oscillatory neural networks …

Cross-frequency coupling supports the organization of brain rhythms and is present during a
range of cognitive functions. However, little is known about whether and how long-range …

Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) is hypothesized to coordinate neural activity, but its role in
successful memory formation in the human cortex is unknown. Measures of PAC are difficult …
