Distinct Temporal Patterns of Human Neural Firing in the Subthalamic Nucleus During Speech and Orofacial Movement

Zahra Jourahmad, Christopher K. Kovach, Andrea Rohl, Joel Isaac Berger, Kris Tjaden, Jeremy D.W. Greenlee

The paper examines STN neural activity during speech and orofacial movement tasks, finding that 22% of clusters are speech-specific, 12% movement-specific, and 27% respond to both.

Human neuronal firing is modulated by the frequency of local field potential oscillations

Zahra Jourahmad, Raissa K. Mathura, Layth S. Mattar, Melissa C. Franch, Danika Lea Paulo, Mohammed A. Hasen, Nicole R. Provenza, Benjamin Y. Hayden, Sameer Anil Sheth, Eleonora Bartoli, Andrew J. Watrous

The paper investigates frequency tuning in human neurons using intracranial recordings and finds 27% of neurons show firing preferences within specific oscillatory frequencies, particularly low-theta.
