A novel mech­an­ism for con­nect­ing fast and slow brain rhythm net­works

Helsinki: In visual work­ing memory, cross-fre­quency syn­chrony is a novel mech­an­ism for con­nect­ing fast and slow brain rhythm net­works. Docent Satu Palva’s research group from the Neuroscience Center have studied neuronal mechanisms that may underlie the integration and coordination of neuronal processing across slow and fast brain rhythm i.e. oscillatory networks in relation to the visual working memory in human brain networks. Palva’s group found a novel mechanism that can connect fast and slow oscillatory networks. The study was published on Elife journal in September 2016.
