Understanding the Role of Sensorimotor Beta Oscillations. [PDF]
Front Syst Neurosci, 2021 Beta oscillations have been predominantly observed in sensorimotor cortices and basal ganglia structures and they are thought to be involved in somatosensory processing and motor control. Although beta activity is a distinct feature of healthy and pathological sensorimotor processing, the role of this rhythm is still under debate. Here we review recent

Beta oscillations, timing, and stuttering
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 It has been proposed that one of the causes of stuttering is a deficit in brain timing networks (Alm, 2004; Ludlow and Loucks, 2004; Etchell et al., 2014). In stuttering, there appear to be structural and functional abnormalities in brain areas (such as the basal ganglia and supplementary motor area) that provide the substrate for internal timing (the ...

Striatal cholinergic interneurons generate beta and gamma oscillations in the corticostriatal circuit and produce motor deficits [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016 Cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBT) neural circuits are critical modulators of cognitive and motor function. When compromised, these circuits contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).

Basal Ganglia Beta Oscillations Accompany Cue Utilization [PDF]
Neuron, 2012 Beta oscillations in cortical-basal ganglia (BG) circuits have been implicated in normal movement suppression and motor impairment in Parkinson's disease. To dissect the functional correlates of these rhythms we compared neural activity during four distinct variants of a cued choice task in rats. Brief beta (∼20 Hz) oscillations occurred simultaneously

Phase-Specific Microstimulation Differentially Modulates Beta Oscillations and Affects Behavior
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: It is widely accepted that Beta-band oscillations play a role in sensorimotor behavior. To further explore this role, we developed a hybrid platform to combine neural operant conditioning and phase-specific intracortical microstimulation (ICMS).

Beta oscillations reflect supramodal information during perceptual judgment [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 SignificanceWhen a perceptual judgment has to be made comparing inputs from different sensory modalities (here, tactile and auditory), the relevant information needs to be coded in a supramodal way. We studied the role of beta oscillations in the premotor system, which had previously been linked to tactile working memory and decision making.

Relationship between activity in human primary motor cortex during action observation and the mirror neuron system [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The attenuation of the beta cortical oscillations during action observation has been interpreted as evidence of a mirror neuron system (MNS) in humans.

Beta oscillations in vision: a (preconscious) neural mechanism for the dorsal visual stream? [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2023 Neural oscillations in alpha (8–12 Hz) and beta (13–30 Hz) frequency bands are thought to reflect feedback/reentrant loops and large-scale cortical interactions.

Too many betas do not spoil the broth: The role of beta brain oscillations in language processing
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Over the past 20 years, brain oscillations have proven to be a gateway to the understanding of cognitive processes. It has been shown that different neurocognitive aspects of language processing are associated with brain oscillations at various ...
