Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is a widely used form of brain stimulation, developed on the premise that it promotes long-term potentiation (LTP) and neural excitation. However, this is n...

Frontal cortical tau pathology in aging humans is associated with reduced slow-wave travel during sleep. This reduced propagation is associated with poorer overnight memory retention, supporting a lin...

Muller et al. review how spiking and synaptic activity are often organized as traveling waves in single cortical areas that modulate excitability, perception, and behavior. Specific features of these waves support spatiotemporal, dynamics-based computations, such as short-term prediction and generative processing.

Hippocampal ripples are transient, high-frequency oscillations linked to memory replay and consolidation. Ripples are well-characterized in rodents to occur during periods of behavioral inactivity (i....

Bayesian state-space model for joint inference of oscillatory dynamics and point-process coupling - Bowen-Zheng-99/joint-ssmt

Mental illness needs visibility more urgently than almost any other area of medicine and health care. A new award from Wellcome and Nature aims to raise its prominence.

High-density single-neuron recordings in patients with epilepsy revealed interictal discharges are generated by structured laminar circuits. These circuits overlapped with cognitive circuits and could...

In the hippocampus, complex processing of sensory stimuli occurs even in the unconscious state.

How widespread brain areas flexibly interact to support behaviors is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. Using direct brain recordings from humans, the authors show that spatiotemporally complex ...

Theta oscillations in the medial temporal lobe support memory, but how they relate to eye and body movements during human navigation is unclear. This study shows that theta power increases during sacc...

Cruddas et al. reviewed how core concepts from wave physics relate to cortical wave physiology and psychology. They examined how cortical waves emerge, how they facilitate coordinated, hierarchical, a...

The advent of noninvasive imaging methods like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) transformed cognitive neuroscience, providing insights into large-scale brain networks and their link to cog...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is increasingly used to treat major depressive disorder and has demonstrated durable improvements in d...

The review proposes a novel mechanistic distinction between first- and second-order traveling waves that subserves a same canonical computation by ordering neuronal processing to impose a computationa...
