Neural dynamics and brain function
Neural dynamics and brain function is a research topic within Cognitive Neuroscience. Science Explorer counts 87k research works in it since 1950. 22.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the dynamics of neuronal oscillations, synchronization, and neural activity in cortical networks. It investigates the role of gamma rhythms, interneurons, and sensory processing, as well as their implications for working memory, neural synchrony, and cognitive functions.
