On variability in local field potentials

The paper investigates variability in local field potentials (LFP) and proposes a new metric, CV(log(power ratio)), to quantify power variability, showing its reduction with stimulation and potential inverse relation to power changes.

Surprising effects of stimulus repetition on neuronal firing rates and gamma-band synchronization in awake macaque V1

The paper investigates how stimulus repetition affects neuronal firing rates and gamma-band synchronization in macaque V1, finding opposite effects compared to classical results, which may relate to reward predictability.

Repetition-related gamma plasticity in macaque V1 and V2 is highly stimulus specific and robust to stimulus set size

Systems Neuroscience Computing in Python (SyNCoPy): A Python Package for Large-scale Analysis of Electrophysiological Data

SyNCoPy is a Python package for analyzing large-scale electrophysiological data, offering time, frequency, and connectivity analyses with parallel processing and interoperability.

Prefrontal working memory signal controls phase-coded information within extrastriate cortex

This study shows that prefrontal working memory signals enhance phase-coded visual information in V4 neurons through beta oscillations, confirmed by pharmacological inactivation and a network model.

Enhanced Behavioral Performance through Interareal Gamma and Beta Synchronization

The paper shows that gamma and beta synchronization between brain areas improves behavioral performance during selective attention tasks.

In vivo magnetic recording of single-neuron action potentials

This paper demonstrates the ability to record in vivo magnetic signals corresponding to single-neuron action potentials using miniaturized GMR sensors in anesthetized rats.
