  • Stimulus detection rate and latency, firing rates and 1-40Hz oscillatory power are modulated by infra-slow fluctuations in a bistable attractor network model

    2013, NeuroImage
    Citation Excerpt :

    The BOLD ISFs are directly correlated with ISFs in 1–100 Hz EEG and oscillatory power of local field potentials (LFPs) (Goldman et al., 2002; Leopold et al., 2003; Mantini et al., 2007) and, in addition, MEG-recorded amplitude dynamics and BOLD-ISFs have similar anatomical patterns of temporal correlations (Brookes et al., 2011). Furthermore, ISFs are observable directly in neuronal membrane potentials (Lörincz et al., 2009), cortical potentials (Aladjalova, 1957; Norton and Jewett, 1965) and in human EEG (Monto et al., 2008; Vanhatalo et al., 2004). Importantly, they are correlated both with > 1-Hz oscillation amplitudes and psychophysical performance fluctuations (Monto et al., 2008).

  • Infra-slow fluctuations in electrophysiological recordings, blood-oxygenation-level-dependent signals, and psychophysical time series

    Interest in this approach has been sustained to the present day, e.g., in studies exploring the effects of self-regulation of slow scalp potentials (Birbaumer et al., 1990; Lutzenberger et al., 1979), averaged peri-event potentials such as the readiness potential (RP) (Libet et al., 1982) and contingent negative variation (CNV) (Walter et al., 1964), and spontaneous infra-slow fluctuations (Vanhatalo et al., 2005a). Recordings of spontaneous direct-current (DC) coupled potentials in rabbit (Aladjalova, 1957) and cat cortices (Norton and Jewett, 1965) in vivo revealed the first evidence for infra-slow potential fluctuations or oscillations in the nervous system (Aladjalova, 1964a). The seminal contribution of Aladjalova has since been corroborated and extended by a number of investigations.

  • Synchronous Activity in Basal Ganglia Circuits

    2010, Handbook of Behavioral Neuroscience
    Citation Excerpt :

    The sections below describe investigation of oscillatory activity in the basal ganglia in four frequency ranges: multisecond or ultraslow oscillations ( < 0.1 Hz), slow oscillations ( ∼ 1 Hz) and faster frequency ranges including theta, alpha, beta (4–30 Hz) and gamma ( > 30 Hz) range oscillations. Evidence for synchronized ultraslow oscillations in neuronal activity ( < 0.1 Hz) came initially from EEG recordings from awake animals in the 1950s (Aladjalova, 1957) and subsequently from a number of direct and indirect measures of neuronal activity, including spiking activity in the hippocampus, thalamus and the developing retina, heart rate variation, cerebral blood flow and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the brain blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal (Norton and Jewett, 1965; Ehlers and Foote, 1984; Biswal et al., 1995; Mayhew et al., 1996; Penttonen et al., 1999; Obrig et al., 2000; Montano et al., 2001; Firth et al., 2005; Lorincz et al., 2009). While it is not clear what processes generate oscillatory neuronal activity in this ultraslow frequency range, the literature suggests these slow fluctuations in firing rate play a role in activity-based synaptic connectivity and homeostasis, as well as central coordination of autonomic function (Feller, 1999; Turrigiano, 1999; Pagani and Malliani, 2000; Roerig and Feller, 2000).
