20 Hz rhythm of activity

چکیده
Cats attended to either visual or acoustic moving stimuli in order to perceive the location of their disappearance, which signaled reward in left or right foodwell. The analysis of concomitant electroencephalograms revealed an elevation of the 20 Hz band in the Fourier spectra of activity of respective visual and auditory projection cortices. These oscillations appeared only on the trials that ended with a successful response. With use of directed transfer functions we were able to show that during the visual task, the 20 Hz frequency was propagated from the spot of appearance along the visual cortex, as well as towards the lateral geniculate nucleus.

Motor cortex dynamics in visuomotor production of speech and non-speech mouth movements.
We investigated timing and hemispheric balance of motor cortex activation when kinetically similar speech and non-speech mouth movements and sequences of such movements were triggered by visually presented letter- and symbol-strings. As an index of motor cortex activation, we used magnetoencephalographic recording of task-related change of precentral 20 Hz (16-24 Hz) activity. Suppression of th...
متن کاملModulation of the ∽20-Hz motor-cortex rhythm to passive movement and tactile stimulation
BACKGROUND Integration of afferent somatosensory input with motor-cortex output is essential for accurate movements. Prior studies have shown that tactile input modulates motor-cortex excitability, which is reflected in the reactivity of the ∽ 20-Hz motor-cortex rhythm. ∽ 20-Hz rebound is connected to inhibition or deactivation of motor cortex whereas suppression has been associated with increa...

We monitored with a whole-scalp neuromagnetometer the reactivity of the ;20-Hz rhythm as an index of the functional state of the primary motor cortex in seven patients suffering from Unverricht– Lundborg type (ULD) progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) and in seven healthy control subjec...
متن کاملHuman Motor Cortical Activity Is Selectively Phase-Entrained on Underlying Rhythms
The functional significance of electrical rhythms in the mammalian brain remains uncertain. In the motor cortex, the 12-20 Hz beta rhythm is known to transiently decrease in amplitude during movement, and to be altered in many motor diseases. Here we show that the activity of neuronal populations is phase-coupled with the beta rhythm on rapid timescales, and describe how the strength of this re...
