In this review, we consider the potential functional role of beta-band oscillations, which at
present is not yet well understood. We discuss evidence from recent studies on top-down …

Following the discovery of context-dependent synchronization of oscillatory neuronal
responses in the visual system, novel methods of time series analysis have been developed …

Parkinson's disease is a common and disabling disorder of movement owing to
dopaminergic denervation of the striatum. However, it is still unclear how this denervation …

Perception, cognition, and social interaction depend upon coordinated neural activity. This
coordination operates within noisy, overlapping, and distributed neural networks operating …

High-frequency stimulation (HFS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a well-established
therapy for patients with severe Parkinson9s disease (PD), but its mechanism of action is …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with exaggerated oscillatory synchrony in the basal
ganglia at frequencies over 8–35 Hz. Studies have demonstrated a suppression of local field …

Oscillations in neural activity play a critical role in neural computation and communication.
There is intriguing new evidence that the nonsinusoidal features of the oscillatory waveforms …

Both phenotype and treatment response vary in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Anatomical and functional imaging studies suggest that individual symptoms may represent …

The mesolimbic dopaminergic (ML-DA) system has been recognized for its central role in
motivated behaviors, various types of reward, and, more recently, in cognitive processes …

Neural oscillations and their synchronization may represent a versatile signal to realize
flexible communication within and between cortical areas. By now, there is extensive …
