The alpha rhythm is the longest-studied brain oscillation and has been theorized to play a
key role in cognition. Still, its physiology is poorly understood. In this study, we used …

The neocortex is composed of six anatomically and physiologically specialized layers. It has
been proposed that integration of activity across cortical areas is mediated anatomically by …

Despite ongoing advances in our understanding of local single-cellular and network-level
activity of neuronal populations in the human brain, extraordinarily little is known about their “…

Recording neural activity during neurosurgical interventions is an invaluable tool for both
improving patient outcomes and advancing our understanding of neural mechanisms and …

Cortical dynamics obey a 1/f power law, exhibiting an exponential decay of spectral power
with increasing frequency. The slope and offset of this 1/f decay reflect the timescale and …

Recent studies have expanded our understanding of sleep regulation by elucidating
multiple neural circuits that promote sleep. In this issue of Neuron, Ma et al.(2019) identify a …

Human laminar microelectrodes (linear arrays implanted acutely or semi-chronically in surgical
patients) present an exciting new frontier of intracranial electrophysiology. Though most …

Language is one of the hallmarks of intelligence, demanding explanation in a theory of
human cognition. However, language presents unique practical challenges for quantitative …

The ability to orient oneself within an environment is critical for spatial navigation and thus
for survival and reproductive success. Orienting depends on interactions between multiple …

This book offers the first, comprehensive guide to planning and conducting intracranial EEG
studies, and analyzing intracranial EEG data. The chapters address core questions in the …
