Abstract
This work represents an attempt to bring together two important themes in neuronal dynamics. The first is the characterization of dynamic correlations in multiunit recordings of spike activity using joint-peri-stimulus time histograms (J-PSTHs) [Aertsen and Preissl, 1991: Non Linear Dynamics and Neural Networks]. The second is transient phase-locking at high (gamma) frequencies, either in terms of spiking in separable spike trains [e.g., Eckhorn et al., 1988: Biol Cybern 60:121-130, Gray and Singer, 1989 Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86:1698-1702], or using continuous electrical or biomagnetic signals [e.g., Desmedt and Tomberg, 1994 Neurosci Lett 168:126-129]. In this paper we suggest that transient phase-locking is necessary for frequency-specific, dynamic event-related correlations. This point is demonstrated using the gamma-frequency (36 Hz) component of neuromagnetic signals measured in the prefrontal and partial regions of a subject during self-paced movements. A J-PSTH analysis revealed dynamic changes in prefronto-parietal correlations in relation to movement onset. These frequency-specific dynamic correlations were associated with changes in the degree of phase-locking, of the sort reported by Desmedt and Tomberg [1994 Neurosci Lett 168:126-129]. Hum. Brain Mapping 5:48-57, 1997. (c) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
