Frontal Midline Theta Oscillations during Working Memory Maintenance and Episodic Encoding and Retrieval (2013, background): “In addition to memory processes that ensue following processing of items to be encoded or retrieved, some recent studies have suggested that the cognitive state or mode (Rugg and Wilding, 2000) before an event can also determine the success of memory formation and retrieval (Guderian et al., 2009; R”
Selective for Whole Faces in the Human Amygdala (2011, background): “Does it encode specific features of faces that are particularly critical for recognizing emotions (such as the eyes), or does it encode the whole face, a level of representation that might be the proximal substrate for subsequent social cognition? We investigated this question by recording from over”
The Influences of Emotion on Learning and Memory (2017, background): “…evidence indicates that the hippocampus functions as a hub for brain network communications-a type of continuous exchange of information center that establishes LTM dominated by theta wave oscillations (Battaglia et al., 2011) that are correlated with learning and memory (Rutishauser et al., 2010).”
The Theta-Gamma Neural Code (2013, positive): “Using a somewhat different strategy, Rutishauser et al. showed that successful memory formation was predicted by how well spike timing was phase coupled to theta oscillations (Rutishauser et al., 2010).”
Transcranial alternating current stimulation entrains single-neuron activity in the primate brain (2019, background): “Changes in synchronous activity appear to underlie momentary lapses in performance (4) and serious pathological conditions (5), so even small changes in spike timing, when distributed across a network of neurons, may exert a powerful influence on behavior.”
Human single-neuron activity is modulated by intracranial theta burst stimulation of the basolateral amygdala (2024, unknown): “…activity following stimulation ( Geva-Sagiv et al., 2023 ); neuronal phase-locking, particularly to hippocampal theta oscillations, has long been associated with robust memory encoding and retrieval ( Jacobs et al., 2007 ; Rutishauser et al., 2010 ; Schonhaut et al., 2024 ; Yoo et al., 2021 ).”
Neurophysiological mechanisms of cognition in the developing brain: Insights from intracranial EEG studies (2023, methodology): “For example, Rutishauser et al. (2010) analyzed the coupling of single-unit neuronal activity and theta oscillations in the hippocampus while subjects performed a picture subsequent memory task.”
Rhythms of human attention and memory: An embedded process perspective (2022, background): “In humans, the theta rhythm itself has been found to increase in PFC and MTL networks for memory encoding (Fell et al., 2003; Sederberg et al., 2003; Osipova et al., 2006; Rutishauser et al., 2010; Friese et al., 2013; Köster et al., 2018), as well as WM maintenance (Jensen and Tesche, 2002; Scheeri”
