This Primer explores a @plosbiology.org study showing that #neuronal firing is selectively tuned to oscillatory frequency, complementary to phase tuning, suggesting an additional dimension in how #brain rhythms may organize neural activity 🧪 Paper: plos.io/44odgVM Primer: plos.io/4eJ6bUI
Three possible interpretations of frequency tuning. Top: Oscillatory frequency changes in the local field potential (LFP) may directly modulate neuronal excitability, such that neurons that are selectively sensitive to a given frequency increase their firing rate. As a result, neuronal spiking exhibits a frequency-dependent tuning profile, with maximal firing near a preferred frequency. Middle: Alternatively, the relationship between oscillatory frequency and neuronal firing may be reciprocal. Changes in firing activity of frequency-sensitive neurons may themselves contribute to shifts in LFP frequency, particularly during transitions between network states (e.g., from slow- to fast-theta regimes). In this view, increased spiking may both reflect and participate in state-dependent changes in oscillatory dynamics. Bottom: A third possibility is that both oscillatory frequency and neuronal firing are co-modulated by a common factor, such as neuromodulatory input (e.g., acetylcholine), leading to correlated changes in both without a direct causal link between them.

Some neurons like to ride on slow LFP oscillations, regardless of their phase! This might represent a mechanism to coordinate neural activity and propagate information across brain circuits 🧠 amazing collaboration led by the super talented @zahrajourahmad.bsky.social and Andrew Watrous!

New preprint from my lab led by @kang950.bsky.social - we use intracranial recordings in humans 🛑 🧠 and test for connectivity to/from parietal cortex during action stopping (and its failures)
