Biography

Rhythmic patterns of synchronously active neuronal assemblies play a key role in cognitive brain functions. Although rhythmic activities occur at various frequencies, specifically fast gamma (30-100 Hz) oscillations attracted highest attention because their functional relation to coding, storing and recall of information in the cortex is most evident. In the hippocampus of humans and rodents gamma activity is essential for spatial navigation and acquisition of new memories.
