Automatic Detection of Highly Organized Theta Oscillations in the Murine EEG
Published on: March 10, 2017
Abstract:
This special issue on the theta rhythm highlights recent experiments aimed at understanding the relationship between this slow, large amplitude oscillation and plasticity, fast oscillations, cellular activity and disease in both animals and humans. The articles in this issue of Behavioral Neuroscience use a number of approaches across different model systems and behavioral paradigms to provide an up-to-date account of recent progress in understanding how the theta rhythm coordinates neural activity in the service of cognition. Prominent themes that emerge are how theta is tightly related to movement in humans and rodents and how this rhythm could be leveraged as a biomarker for understanding and testing therapeutic approaches to treat psychiatric and neurological diseases.
