Disynaptic inhibition between neocortical pyramidal cells mediated by Martinotti cells. (2007, background): “This is further supported by the fact that dendritic calcium spikes cause high-frequency bursting of PCs (Larkum et al., 2001; Oakley et al., 2001; Stuart et al., 1997).”
A second function of gamma-frequency oscillations: a E%-max winner-take-all mechanism selects which cells fire (2009, background): “…(Singer and Gray, 1995): rather than firing with a uniform probability over time, networks that display gamma oscillations show clustered firing of principal cells that tends to occur at a particular phase of each gamma cycle (Bragin et al., 1995; Penttonen et al., 1998; Csicsvari et al., 2003).”
The emergence of contrast-invariant orientation tuning in simple cells of cat visual cortex. (2007, background): “…broad outlines of cortical receptive fields, including orientation bias and subfield organization (DeAngelis et al., 1993b; Hubel and Wiesel, 1962; Movshon et al., 1978; Reid and Alonso, 1995), but these connections seem, on their own, to be unable to explain more subtle aspects of cortical…”
Plasticity of Cortical Excitatory-Inhibitory Balance (2015, unknown): “These coordinated changes act to preserve the relative tuning shape and width of cortical receptive fields, which may be important for sensory processing or other neural computations (Montgomery & Wehr 2010, Pouget et al. 1999).”
Neural syntax: cell assemblies, synapsembles and readers (2010, unknown): “Interpreting mesoscopic signals will require further exploration since the frequency of LFP gamma transients and their coupling across layers and cortical ‘‘modules’’ vary as a function of behavior (Colgin et al., 2009; Montgomery and Buzsáki, 2007; Sirota et al., 2008).”
Coherent theta oscillations and reorganization of spike timing in the hippocampal- prefrontal network upon learning. (2010, unknown): “…proposed to create ‘‘pointer’’ representations, linking together activity in multiple cortical areas pertaining to the same context and facilitating the formation of permanent cortical episodic memory traces (Eichenbaum, 2000; Shastri, 2002; Moscovitch et al., 2005; Frankland and Bontempi, 2005).”
