A Spatially Structured Spiking Network Model of Beta Traveling Waves and Their Attenuation in Motor Cortex

This paper models beta traveling waves in primate motor cortex using a spiking network with spatial connectivity, showing they arise from Turing-Hopf instabilities and are modulated by external inputs.

Return of intracranial beta oscillations and traveling waves with recovery from traumatic brain injury

This study identifies beta oscillations and traveling waves as biomarkers of recovery from traumatic brain injury using intracranial electrode data.

Cortico-thalamic communication for action coordination in a skilled motor sequence

The paper identifies a corticothalamic channel in the motor cortex that coordinates skilled motor sequences by amplifying thalamic integration of sensorimotor inputs.

Interplay between external inputs and recurrent dynamics during movement preparation and execution in a network model of motor cortex

This paper develops a recurrent neural network model of motor cortex to show that external inputs shape preparatory activity while recurrent connectivity dominates during movement execution.
