Abstract
GENERAL COMMENTARY article Front. Syst. Neurosci., 24 June 2013 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fnsys.2013.00025
Highlights
Even the simplest tasks in our everyday life depend on the activity in multiple brain areas that are coordinated in large-scale brain networks (Sporns, 2011). These networks restructure the information flow in the brain on fast time scales whenever we re-focus our attention on novel tasks or initiate novel movements to interact with our environment
This cell-specific mapping between firing rates and beta amplitudes was highly stable for single cells across multiple recording sessions, but it varied for a large subset of cells between different tasks in a reversible and reliable manner
When the beta amplitude of the local field potentials surrounding the cell changes over time, for example when it is reduced during movement initiation, the subnetwork of cells that fired during high beta states dissipates and the circuit switches on cells that prefer firing at low beta amplitudes (Figure 1A)
