It’s not just the phase: Frequency-dependent tuning of neuronal firing

Article excerpt

by Ying Yao, Simon Hanslmayr A new study in PLOS Biology shows that neuronal firing is selectively tuned to oscillatory frequency in human intracranial recordings, complementary to phase tuning, suggesting an additional dimension in how brain rhythms may organize neural activity. This primer discusses a study in PLOS Biology showing that neuronal firing is selectively tuned to oscillatory frequency in human intracranial recordings, complementary to phase tuning, and suggesting an additional dimension in how brain rhythms may organize neural activity.
