Topic: beta band activity

The recent focus on graphene surface electrodes stems from their remarkable sensitivity, biocompatibility, and flexibility, making them a promising avenue for recording and perturbing neuronal activity. This technology holds potential for gaining better insights into cortical networks due to these characteristics. To comprehend local networks of the motor cortex and monitoring network changes during stimulation, we utilized subdurally positioned graphene electrodes for simultaneous recording and stimulation of the motor cortex in rhesus monkeys. Additionally, we implemented a wireless recordin

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a network disorder. Development of abnormally exaggerated beta band activity in the parkinsonian brain has been linked with motor symptoms. However, the cellular and circuit mechanisms underlying the generation of this abnormal beta activity remain undefined. Our research focus has lately turned to consideration of PD pathology in motor cortex (M1) cells and synapses. M1 is the final common pathway from telencephalon to brainstem and spinal cord, and will therefore play a disproportionate role in dysfunction for execution of fine-motor tasks. Using M1 slice electrop
