Real-time visualization of neural synchrony for identifying coordinated cell assemblies.

چکیده
We introduce a synchrony map that translates the fine temporal organization of multi-unit responses in the visual cortex into an easily interpreted spatial display. We test the synchrony map on microelectrode array recordings in Area 17 of anesthetized and paralyzed cats. We first examine the synchrony map using averaged data and probability calculations to demonstrate orientation-dependent changes in synchrony. We then demonstrate how the synchrony map can be implemented for real-time visualization of synchrony among neural assemblies.

Neural Oscillations and Synchrony in Brain Dysfunction and Neuropsychiatric Disorders: It's About Time.
Neural oscillations are rhythmic fluctuations over time in the activity or excitability of single neurons, local neuronal populations or "assemblies," and/or multiple regionally distributed neuronal assemblies. Synchronized oscillations among large numbers of neurons are evident in electrocorticographic, electroencephalographic, magnetoencephalographic, and local field potential recordings and ...
متن کاملTheta oscillations decrease spike synchrony in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex.
Oscillations and synchrony are often used synonymously. However, oscillatory mechanisms involving both excitation and inhibition can generate non-synchronous yet coordinated firing patterns. Using simultaneous recordings from multiple layers of the entorhinal-hippocampal loop, we found that coactivation of principal cell pairs (synchrony) was lowest during exploration and rapid-eye-movement (RE...

Neural synchronization is believed to play an important role in different brain functions. Synchrony in cortical and subcortical circuits is frequently variable in time and not perfect. Few long intervals of desynchronized dynamics may be functionally different from many short desynchronized intervals although the average synchrony may be the same. Recent analysis of imperfect synchrony in diff...

It has been proposed that associative learning is accomplished by the formation of cell assemblies and synchronousactivity among the neurons of such an assembly. Induced gamma band responses (GBRs) and phase synchrony betweenelectrode sites are discussed as a signature of activity within a cell assembly. To examine the activation of this networkdue to memory recall, a paired associa...

One of today's major research trends in the field of information systems is the discovery of implicit knowledge hidden in dataset that is currently being produced at high speed, large volumes and with a wide variety of formats. Data with such features is called big data. Extracting, processing, and visualizing the huge amount of data, today has become one of the concerns of data science scholar...
