Oscillations without cortex: Working memory modulates brainwaves in the endbrain of crows

TL;DR: This opinion proposes four features that may be required for complex cognition: a large number of associative pallial neurons, a prefrontal cortex (PFC)-like area, a dense dopaminergic innervation of association areas, and dynamic neurophysiological fundaments for working memory.

TL;DR: Current developments in the analysis of transient oscillations methods using lagged coherence and Hidden Markov Models are reviewed, likely of functional significance and challenges in characterizing their function are considered.

TL;DR: In this paper , a phase-coding network is proposed to generate autonomous oscillations which it couples to an external reference oscillation in a multi-stable fashion in order to maintain the identity of transient stimuli.

TL;DR: The trained recurrent neural networks develop phase-locked limit cycles in a working memory task, supporting the phase coding of information.

TL;DR: FieldTrip is an open source software package that is implemented as a MATLAB toolbox and includes a complete set of consistent and user-friendly high-level functions that allow experimental neuroscientists to analyze experimental data.

TL;DR: High-density recordings of field activity in animals and subdural grid recordings in humans can provide insight into the cooperative behaviour of neurons, their average synaptic input and their spiking output, and can increase the understanding of how these processes contribute to the extracellular signal.

TL;DR: It is proposed that information is gated by inhibiting task-irrelevant regions, thus routing information to task-relevant regions and the empirical support for this framework is discussed.

TL;DR: The timing of a sensory input relative to a gamma cycle determined the amplitude and precision of evoked responses and provided the first causal evidence that distinct network activity states can be induced in vivo by cell-type-specific activation.
