Fast Oscillations in Cortical Circuits

by Roger D. Traub, Miles A. Whittington, John G.R. Jefferys

The study of cortical oscillations is of great interest to those working in many areas of neuroscience. A fast coherent EEG rhythm called gamma or 40 Hz has been implicated in cognition, as it may play a role in binding together features of objects. This rhythm may also be important for consciousness, as a number of drugs that induce general anesthesia disrupt the synchronization of the rhythm at clinically relevant concentrations.
