Inhibition-based rhythms: experimental and mathematical observations on network dynamics

MA Whittington, RD Traub, N Kopell… - International journal of …, 2000 - Elsevier
An increasingly large body of data exists which demonstrates that oscillations of frequency
12–80 Hz are a consequence of, or are inextricably linked to, the behaviour of inhibitory …

[HTML][HTML] Neuronal networks for induced '40 Hz'rhythms

JGR Jefferys, RD Traub, MA Whittington - Trends in neurosciences, 1996 - cell.com
A fast, coherent EEG rhythm, called a gamma or a ‘40 Hz' rhythm, has been implicated both
in higher brain functions, such as the ‘binding' of features that are detected by sensory …

Interneuron diversity series: inhibitory interneurons and network oscillations in vitro

MA Whittington, RD Traub - Trends in neurosciences, 2003 - cell.com
In vitro models of rhythms of cognitive relevance, such as gamma (30–80 Hz) and theta (5–12
Hz) rhythms in the hippocampus, demonstrate an absolute requirement for phasic …

Synchronized oscillations in interneuron networks driven by metabotropic glutamate receptor activation

MA Whittington, RD Traub, JGR Jefferys - Nature, 1995 - nature.com
PARTIALLY synchronous 40-Hz oscillations of cortical neurons have been implicated in
cognitive function. Specifically, coherence of these oscillations between different parts of the …

Gamma rhythms and beta rhythms have different synchronization properties

…, GB Ermentrout, MA Whittington… - Proceedings of the …, 2000 - National Acad Sciences
Experimental and modeling efforts suggest that rhythms in the CA1 region of the hippocampus
that are in the beta range (12–29 Hz) have a different dynamical structure than that of …

Prion protein is necessary for normal synaptic function

J Collinge, MA Whittington, KCL Sidle, CJ Smith… - Nature, 1994 - nature.com
THE prion diseases are neurodegenerative conditions, transmissible by inoculation, and in
some cases inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder. They include Creutzfeldt–Jakob …

Analysis of gamma rhythms in the rat hippocampus in vitro and in vivo.

RD Traub, MA Whittington, SB Colling… - The Journal of …, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
1. We have shown previously, with experimental and computer models, how a ‘40 Hz’ (gamma)
oscillation can arise in networks of hippocampal interneurones, involving mutual GABAA…

A mechanism for generation of long-range synchronous fast oscillations in the cortex

RD Traub, MA Whittington, IM Stanford, JGR Jefferys - Nature, 1996 - nature.com
SYNCHRONOUS neuronal oscillations in the 30–70 Hz range, known as gamma oscillations,
occur in the cortex of many species 1–6 . This synchronization can occur over large …

…, DM Bannerman, A Rozov, MA Whittington… - Neuron, 2007 - cell.com
Perisomatic inhibition provided by a subgroup of GABAergic interneurons plays a critical
role in timing the output of pyramidal cells. To test their contribution at the network and the …
