Brain Rhythms: Higher-Frequency Theta Oscillations Make Sense in Moving Humans.
نویسنده
چکیده
The hippocampal theta rhythm is critical for learning and memory. New research demonstrates that theta oscillations in freely moving humans are similar in frequency and function to those observed in rodents and are modulated by movement speed and exploratory behavior.

High Gamma Power Is Phase-Locked to Theta Oscillations in Human Neocortex
We observed robust coupling between the highand low-frequency bands of ongoing electrical activity in the human brain. In particular, the phase of the low-frequency theta (4 to 8 hertz) rhythm modulates power in the high gamma (80 to 150 hertz) band of the electrocorticogram, with stronger modulation occurring at higher theta amplitudes. Furthermore, different behavioral tasks evoke distinct pa...
متن کاملTranscranial Electrical Currents to Probe EEG Brain Rhythms and Memory Consolidation during Sleep in Humans
Previously the application of a weak electric anodal current oscillating with a frequency of the sleep slow oscillation (∼0.75 Hz) during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NonREM) sleep boosted endogenous slow oscillation activity and enhanced sleep-associated memory consolidation. The slow oscillations occurring during NonREM sleep and theta oscillations present during REM sleep have been consider...
متن کاملHippocampal theta oscillations are slower in humans than in rodents: implications for models of spatial navigation and memory.
The theta oscillation is a neuroscience enigma. When a rat runs through an environment, large-amplitude theta oscillations (4-10 Hz) reliably appear in the hippocampus's electrical activity. The consistency of this pattern led to theta playing a central role in theories on the neural basis of mammalian spatial navigation and memory. However, in fact, hippocampal oscillations at 4-10 Hz are rare...

متن کاملSelective entrainment of gamma subbands by different slow network oscillations.
Theta oscillations (4-12 Hz) are thought to provide a common temporal reference for the exchange of information among distant brain networks. On the other hand, faster gamma-frequency oscillations (30-160 Hz) nested within theta cycles are believed to underlie local information processing. Whether oscillatory coupling between global and local oscillations, as showcased by theta-gamma coupling, ...
