Beyond the status quo: a role for beta oscillations in endogenous content (re) activation

B Spitzer, S Haegens - eneuro, 2017 - eneuro.org
Among the rhythms of the brain, oscillations in the beta frequency range (∼ 13–30 Hz) have
been considered the most enigmatic. Traditionally associated with sensorimotor functions …

Oscillatory dynamics of prefrontal cognitive control

RF Helfrich, RT Knight - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2016 - cell.com
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) provides the structural basis for numerous higher cognitive
functions. However, it is still largely unknown which mechanisms provide the functional …

Gamma and beta bursts during working memory readout suggest roles in its volitional control

M Lundqvist, P Herman, MR Warden, SL Brincat… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Working memory (WM) activity is not as stationary or sustained as previously thought. There
are brief bursts of gamma (~ 50–120 Hz) and beta (~ 20–35 Hz) oscillations, the former …

Naturalistic spoken language comprehension is supported by alpha and beta oscillations

I Zioga, H Weissbart, AG Lewis, S Haegens… - Journal of …, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Brain oscillations are prevalent in all species and are involved in numerous perceptual

Functional specialization in the attention network

IC Fiebelkorn, S Kastner - Annual review of psychology, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Spatial attention is comprised of neural mechanisms that boost sensory processing at a
behaviorally relevant location while filtering out competing information. The present review …

Mechanisms of distributed working memory in a large-scale network of macaque neocortex

JF Mejias, XJ Wang - Elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
Neural activity underlying working memory is not a local phenomenon but distributed across
multiple brain regions. To elucidate the circuit mechanism of such distributed activity, we …

Cortical connections position primate area 25 as a keystone for interoception, emotion, and memory

MKP Joyce, H Barbas - Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
The structural and functional integrity of subgenual cingulate area 25 (A25) is crucial for
emotional expression and equilibrium. A25 has a key role in affective networks, and its …

Oscillatory activity robustly correlates with task demands during many cognitive tasks.
However, not only are the network mechanisms underlying the generation of these rhythms …

Exact neural mass model for synaptic-based working memory

H Taher, A Torcini, S Olmi - PLOS Computational Biology, 2020 - journals.plos.org
A synaptic theory of Working Memory (WM) has been developed in the last decade as a
possible alternative to the persistent spiking paradigm. In this context, we have developed a …
