What mechanisms underlie flexible inter-areal communication in the cortex? We consider
four mechanisms for temporal coordination and their contributions to communication:(1) …

Current concepts of sensory processing in the cerebral cortex emphasize serial extraction
and recombination of features in hierarchically structured feed-forward networks in order to …

Inter-areal coherence between field potentials is a widespread phenomenon in cortex.
Coherence has been hypothesized to reflect phase-synchronization between oscillators and …

How do the two main types of neural dynamics, aperiodic transients and oscillations,
contribute to the interactions between feedforward (FF) and feedback (FB) pathways in …

Rhythmic flicker stimulation has gained interest as a treatment for neurodegenerative
diseases and as a method for frequency tagging neural activity. Yet, little is known about the …

Cortical circuits are thought to contain a large number of cell types that coordinate to
produce behavior. Current in vivo methods rely on clustering of specified features of …

The article reviews the history development of artificial neural networks (ANNs), then
compares the differences between ANNs and brain networks in their constituent unit …

When a neuron breaks silence, it can emit action potentials in a number of patterns. Some
responses are so sudden and intense that electrophysiologists felt the need to single them …

Synchronization has been implicated in neuronal communication, but causal evidence
remains indirect. We use optogenetics to generate depolarizing currents in pyramidal …

Gamma oscillations are a prominent activity pattern in the cerebral cortex. While gamma
rhythms have been extensively studied in the adult prefrontal cortex in the context of …
