Traveling waves in the prefrontal cortex during working memory. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Neural oscillations are evident across cortex but their spatial structure is not well- explored. Are oscillations stationary or do they form "traveling waves", i.e., spatially organized patterns whose peaks and troughs move sequentially across cortex ...

Realistic coupling enables flexible macroscopic traveling waves in the mouse cortex [PDF]
eLifeTraveling waves are ubiquitous in neuronal systems across different spatial scales. While microscopic and mesoscopic waves are relatively well studied, the emergence of macroscopic traveling waves remains less understood.

Planar, spiral, and concentric traveling waves distinguish behavioral states in human memory [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsA fundamental challenge in neuroscience is explaining how widespread brain regions flexibly interact to support behaviors. We hypothesize that traveling waves of oscillations are a key mechanism of neural coordination, such that they propagate across the

Programmable double traveling waves in living liquid crystals [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTraveling patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Controlling the traveling waves in living active matter systems remains elusive due to their intrinsic chaotic nonequilibrium nature. Here, we show how to control the traveling waves in living liquid crystals (

Modulation of motor excitability reflects traveling waves of neural oscillations [PDF]
Cell ReportsSummary: Neural traveling waves represent an important endogenous phenomenon with structural and functional relevance in the human brain. These waves, commonly recorded via electroencephalogram (EEG) or electrocorticography (ECoG), are implicated in a ...

A hierarchical multiscale model of forward and backward alpha-band traveling waves in the visual system. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyRecent studies have shown that cortical low-frequency oscillations are often organized as traveling waves. The properties of these waves have been linked to both sensory processing and cognitive functions.
