Cortical gamma oscillations contribute to cognitive processing and are thought to be supported by perisomatic-innervating GABAergic interneurons. We performed extracellular recordings of identified interneurons in the hippocampal CA1 area of anesthetized rats, revealing that the firing patterns of five distinct interneuron types are differentially correlated to spontaneous gamma oscillations. T...

Regular spontaneous oscillations were recorded both electro- and optophysiologically using a voltage-sensitive absorption dye in the olfactory part of the brain (procerebral lobe of the cerebral ganglia) of the gastropod mollusk Helix lucorum. Odor application caused transient changes in procerebral oscillations, and an odor-evoked potential was recorded in the procerebrum (PC). The wave of evo...

Electrical brain signals are often decomposed into frequency ranges that are implicated in different functions. Using subdural electrocorticography (ECoG, intracranial EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we measured frequency spectra and BOLD responses in primary visual cortex (V1) and intraparietal sulcus (IPS). In V1 and IPS, 30-120 Hz (gamma, broadband) oscillations allowe...

Functional imaging studies using BOLD contrasts have consistently reported activation of the supplementary motor area (SMA) both during motor and internal timing tasks. Opposing findings, however, have been shown for the modulation of beta oscillations in the SMA. While movement suppresses beta oscillations in the SMA, motor and non-motor tasks that rely on internal timing increase the amplitud...

We studied the existence, localization and attentional modulation of gamma-band oscillatory activity (30-130 Hz) in the human intracranial region. Two areas known to play a key role in visual object processing: the lateral occipital (LO) cortex and the fusiform gyrus. These areas consistently displayed large gamma oscillations during visual stimulus encoding, while other extrastriate areas rema...

fertilization is triggered by changes in intracellular calcium concentration. in mammals, these transients in ooplasmic calcium concentration take the form of repetitive spikes, so called calcium oscillations (ca2+-oscillations). these oscillations are important for relieve of meiotic arrest and to induce all the other events of oocyte activation. although a surface mediated way of oocyte activ...

Abstract Oscillatory behaviour in force-generating systems is a pervasive phenomenon in cell biology. In this work, we investigate how oscillations in the actomyosin cytoskeleton drive cell shape changes during the process of Dorsal Closure, a morphogenetic event in Drosophila embryo development whereby epidermal continuity is generated through the pulsatile apical area reduction of cells const...

Inter-area oscillation is a serious problem that threatens power system. Appropriate damping control of the inter-area would ensure grid stability and maintain tie-line transfer capability. In this paper, novel reinforcement learning (RL) based (POD) controller proposed uses Thyristor Controlled Series Compensators (TCSC) to damp oscillations. By leveraging unbiased gradient direction estimatio...
