• Regional slow waves and spindles in human sleep. (2011, unknown): “This trait imposes a directionality to plasticity-related processes, and such propagating waves may play a role in time-dependent synaptic plasticity (Ermentrout and Kleinfeld, 2001), such as spike timing-dependent plasticity (Caporale and Dan, 2008).”
• The dominance of large-scale phase dynamics in human cortex, from delta to gamma (2026, unknown): “The present findings also explain why detected TWs, regardless of cortical scale, generally have a wavelength ~2π ( Alexander et al., 2013 ; Ermentrout and Kleinfeld, 2001 ).”
