This review focuses on the neuronal and circuit mechanisms involved in the generation of
the theta (θ) rhythm and of its participation in behavior. Data have accumulated indicating …

This review summarizes the brain mechanisms controlling sleep and wakefulness.
Wakefulness promoting systems cause low-voltage, fast activity in the …

Reductionist attempts to dissect complex mechanisms into simpler elements are necessary,
but not sufficient for understanding how biological properties like reward emerge out of …

Schizophrenia represents a pervasive deficit in brain function, leading to hallucinations and
delusions, social withdrawal and a decline in cognitive performance. As the underlying …

Several electrical neural oscillatory abnormalities have been associated with schizophrenia,
although the underlying mechanisms of these oscillatory problems are unclear. Animal …

Both acetylcholine (ACh) and theta oscillations are important for learning and memory, but
the dynamic interaction between these two processes remains unclear. Recent advances in …

Hippocampal theta oscillations (3–12 Hz) may reflect a mechanism for sensorimotor
integration in rats (Bland BH. Prog Neurobiol 26: 1–54, 1986); however, it is unknown …

Distinct frequency bands can be differentiated from neuronal ensemble recordings, such as
local field potentials or electrocorticogram recordings. Recent years have witnessed a rapid …

Delirium is the most common neurological complication after cardiac surgery with adverse
impacts on surgical outcomes. Advanced age is an independent risk factor for delirium …

Motor sequence learning plays a pivotal role in various everyday activities. Motor-cortical
beta oscillations have been suggested to be involved in this type of learning. In Parkinson's …
