A novel methodological framework for cross-frequency coupling and spike-field coherence in multichannel (LFP, EEG, MEG) electrophysiology data reveals new manifestations of coupling dynamics.

A new measure for cross-frequency coupling assesses phase-amplitude coupling and amplitude-amplitude coupling, and accounts for confounding factors such as low-frequency amplitude fluctuations, using a flexible statistical modeling approach.

Direct electrophysiological evidence demonstrates a role for the anterior thalamic nucleus in human memory formation.

Building on previous work (Sweeney-Reed et al., 2014), it is shown that the timing of the theta rhythm of the right anterior thalamic nucleus predicts human memory formation.

Phase-locking of hippocampal theta and gamma waves has been proposed to support memory formation, but an analysis using robust statistical methods finds no convincing evidence for the phenomenon.

An individualized cross-frequency coupling approach identified slow oscillation-spindle coupling strength as a novel mechanism that mediates memory formation during cortical maturation.

Individualized cross-frequency analyses reveal regionally specific slow oscillation–sleep spindle coupling precision as predictor for gross-motor learning dynamics.

Cross-frequency synchronization of neuronal oscillations in visual and attentional brain systems predicts human working memory performance.

Integration and segregation of information of memory and sensory in the hippocampus could be achieved by the coordination of distinct theta-gamma coding frameworks.

Computational modelling shows that coupled theta and gamma oscillations in the auditory cortex can decompose speech into its syllabic constituents, and organize the neural spiking at faster timescale into a decodable format.
