This book reviews a number of clinical neuropsychiatric conditions in which brain oscillations play an essential role. It discusses how the intrinsic properties of neurons, and the interactions between neurons – mediated by both chemical synapses and by gap junctions – can lead to oscillations in populations of cells. The discussion is based largely on data derived from in vitro systems (hippocampus, cerebral and cerebellar cortex) and from network modeling. Finally, the book considers how brain oscillations can provide insight into normal brain function as well as pathophysiology.Less

There is increasing interest in the functional role of brain rhythms. This chapter introduces brain rhythms and then provides an overview of specific spectral signatures that can be consistently observed in rest and during tasks. The best-studied task in this context is attention, which forms the basis of section 4. Finally, the chapter presents some recent approaches that allow more detailed decoding of these spectral signatures or fingerprints.Less
