Decision time, slow inhibition, and theta rhythm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper, we examine decision making in a spiking neuronal network and show that longer time constants for the inhibitory neurons can decrease the reaction times and produce theta rhythm.We analyze the mechanism and find that the spontaneous firing

Acute 5-HT2C Receptor Antagonist SB-242084 Treatment Affects EEG Gamma Band Activity Similarly to Chronic Escitalopram

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Serotonin 2C receptors (5-HT2CRs) are implicated in the pathomechanism and treatment of anxiety and depression. Recently, as a new biomarker of depression, alterations in the gamma power of the electroencephalogram (EEG) have been suggested.

Altered excitatory-inhibitory balance in the NMDA-hypofunction model of schizophrenia

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2008
Schizophrenia is a common psychiatric disorder of high incidence, affecting approximately 1% of the world population. The essential neurotransmitter pathology of schizophrenia remains poorly defined, despite huge advances over the past half-century in ...

Cortical gamma rhythms modulate NMDAR-mediated spike timing dependent plasticity in a biophysical model. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2009
Spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) has been observed experimentally in vitro and is a widely studied neural algorithm for synaptic modification.

The contribution of electrical synapses to field potential oscillations in the hippocampal formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
Electrical synapses are a type of cellular membrane junction referred to as gap junctions (GJs). GJs have been regarded as an important component within the neuronal networks that underlie synchronous neuronal activity and field potential oscillations ...

Transcranial alternating current stimulation combined with sound stimulation improves the cognitive function of patients with Alzheimer's disease: A case report and literature review

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a relatively new non-invasive brain electrical stimulation method for the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but it has poor offline effects.

The influence of external and internal motor processes on human auditory rhythm perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Musical rhythm is composed of organized temporal patterns, and the processes underlying rhythm perception are found to engage both auditory and motor systems.

Turning a Negative into a Positive: Ascending GABAergic Control of Cortical Activation and Arousal

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2015
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Recent technological advances have illuminated the role of GABAergic neurons in control of cortical arousal and sleep.

α‐tACS over the somatosensory cortex enhances tactile spatial discrimination in healthy subjects with low alpha activity

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, 2021
Introduction Spontaneous oscillations in the somatosensory cortex, especially of the alpha (8 − 14 Hz) and gamma (60 − 80 Hz) frequencies, affect tactile perception; moreover, these oscillations can be selectively modulated by frequency‐matched ...

Transcranial alternating current stimulation combined with sound stimulation improves cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer’s disease: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
BackgroundThe number of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) worldwide is increasing yearly, but the existing treatment methods have poor efficacy. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a new treatment for AD, but the offline effect of
