Cross-Frequency Coupling Increases Memory Capacity in Oscillatory Neural Networks
Connor Bybee,Alex Belsten,Friedrich Sommer · COSYNE 2022
An open problem in neuroscience is to explain the functional role of oscillations in neural networks, contributing, for example, to perception, attention, and memory. Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) is associated with information integration across populations of neurons [1]. Impaired CFC is linked to neurological disease [2]. It is unclear what role CFC has in information processing and brain functional connectivity. We construct a model of CFC which predicts a computational role for observed $\theta - \gamma$ oscillatory circuits in the hippocampus and cortex [3]. Our model predicts that the
