Brain Oscillations
• Oscillations emerge from the interaction between intrinsic cellular properties and circuit properties. – individual oscillatory neurons– individual non-oscillating neurons that are hooked
up in a specific network that produces oscillation. • In many systems electrical coupling by gap junctions
tend to produce oscillatory synchronization.

Characteristics of Mammalian Oscillations
1. Phylogenetic preservation in mammals.
2. In mammals, frequencies cluster around specific peaks
- unlike vertebrates who show much more distributed frequencies.
3. Power density of these oscillations is inversely proportional to frequency (1/f)
4. This (1/f) relationship implies that perturbations occurring at slow frequencies cause a cascade of energy dissipation at higher frequencies (i.e., slow oscillations modulate faster local events).

Types of Oscillations
• Brain networks oscillate and their oscillations are behavior dependent.
• Oscillations range from 0.05 Hz to 500 Hz so the range is many orders of magnitude.
– Delta 1-4 Hz– Theta 4-8 Hz– Alpha 8-12 Hz– Beta 13-20 Hz

Role of Thalamocortical Loops
• Many of the rhythmic oscillations produced arise from thalamocortical re-entrant interactions and pacemaker cells that comprise thalamic nuclei.

Synchronization of Inputs
At least three types of synchronies have their electrogenesis in cortex.
1. Those created locally between neighboring columns, which produce high frequency components above 30 Hz (gamma rhythms).
2. Intermediate or “regional” oscillations between cortical columns separated by several centimeters, which produce intermediate frequency components (high alpha/mu : > 10 Hz; and beta: 12-20 Hz).
3. Global synchronies between cortical regions that are significantly far apart, such as frontal and parietal or occipital and frontal regions. These are related to slow frequency components - delta (1-4 Hz), theta (4-8 Hz), and low alpha/mu (8-10 Hz).

Specific Functions
1. Bias input selection (regulate flow of information)
2. Temporally link neurons into assemblies (“binding” – contribute to the representation of information)
3. Facilitate synaptic plasticity
4. Support temporal representations and long-term consolidation of information (assist in the storage and retrieval of information)
