We lack detailed knowledge about the spatio-temporal physiological signatures of REM sleep, especially in humans. By analyzing intracranial electrode data from humans, we demonstrate for the first time that there are prominent beta (15-35 Hz) and theta (4-8 Hz) oscillations in both the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the DLPFC during REM sleep. We further show that these theta and beta acti...

Hippocampal-dependent learning and memory processes are associated with theta frequency rhythmic activity. Interneuron and pyramidal cell network interactions underlie this activity, but contributions of interneuron voltage-gated membrane conductances remain unclear. We show that interneurons at the CA1 lacunosum-moleculare (LM) and radiatum (RAD) junction (LM/RAD) display voltage-dependent sub...

Eyeblink classical conditioning is a relatively simple form of associative learning that has become an invaluable tool in our understanding of the neural mechanisms of learning. When studying rabbits in this paradigm, we observed a dramatic modification of learning rate by conducting training during episodes of either hippocampal theta or hippocampal non-theta activity as determined by on-line ...

Network oscillations support transient communication across brain structures. We show here, in rats, that task-related neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC), the hippocampus, and the ventral tegmental area (VTA), regions critical for working memory, is coordinated by a 4 Hz oscillation. A prominent increase of power and coherence of the 4 Hz oscillation in the PFC and the VTA ...

BACKGROUND Synchronized electroencephalogram (EEG) activity is observed in pathological stages of cognitive impairment and epilepsy. Modafinil, known to increase the release of catecholamines, is a potent wake-promoting agent, and has shown some abilities to desynchronize EEG,but its receptor mechanisms by which modafinil induces desynchoronization remain to be elucidated. Here we used a pharma...

The monetary incentive delay task was used to characterize reward anticipation and delivery with concurrently acquired evoked magnetic fields, EEG potentials and EEG/MEG oscillatory responses, obtaining a precise portrayal of their spatiotemporal evolution. In the anticipation phase, differential activity was most prominent over midline electrodes and parieto-occipital sensors. Differences betw...

We study the electronic structure of quasicrystals composed incommensurate stacks atomic layers. consider two systems: a pair square lattices with relative twist angle $\theta=45^\circ$ and hexagonal $\theta=30^\circ$, various interlayer interaction strengths. This constitutes every two-dimensional bilayer quasicrystal system. investigate resonant coupling governing quasicrystalline order in ea...

Theta rhythm is most prominent in the hippocampus but has also been recorded in other cortical and limbic structures and can play an important role in functional coupling of widely separated structures responsible for different components of the memory building process. Here we demonstrate in the rat that neuronal activity exhibiting strong state-dependent synchrony with rhythmic hippocampal el...

amonge other things we give sufficient and necessary conditions for the lau product of banachalgebras to be biflat or biprojective.

For any lacunary sequence $theta = (k_{r})$, we define the concepts of $S_{theta}-$limit point and $S_{theta}-$cluster point of a sequence of fuzzy numbers $X = (X_{k})$. We introduce the new sets  $Lambda^{F}_{S_{theta}}(X)$, $Gamma^{F}_{S_{theta}}(X)$ and prove some inclusion relaions between these and the sets $Lambda^{F}_{S}(X)$, $Gamma^{F}_{S}(X)$ introduced in ~cite{Ayt:Slpsfn} by Aytar [...
