Neural Synchronization Correlated with Brain Functions (1) NormalRhythms (Efficient for Sensory and Cognitive Processing)  Perception of Smell Visual Cortex Synchronization in a Subgroup of Neurons in the Olfactory Bulb which are responsible to the given smell (gamma wave: 30-80 Hz) Olfactory Bulb  Visual Perception and Binding Hippocampus Synchronization within a Subgroup of Neurons in the Visual Cortex with similar stimulus specificity (gamma wave) Feature Integration: Binding of the Integrated whole Image via Synchronization in Groups of Neurons (that detect different local features of a visual object)  Spatial Navigation (Hippocampus) Subset of Hippocampal Neurons: Encoding the Current Spatial Location via Synchronization (theta wave: 4-10Hz) (2) Pathological Rhythms (Associated with Neural Diseases) Low-frequency and Extremely Synchronous Rhythmic Activity [Epileptic Seizures, Tremors for the Parkinson Disease] 3

Deterministic Firings of the Neuron •Spikings of the Suprathreshold Neuron (Information: Encoded in the neural spikes) Silent (resting) State Spiking State Suprathreshold Neuron Subthreshold Neuron • Burstings of the Suprathreshold Neuron Bursting: Alternation between a silent phase and a active (bursting) phase of repetitive spikes (i.e., a neuron repeatedly fires bursts of spikes). One importance of burstings: necessary to overcome the synaptic transmission failure. Bursting neurons: cortical intrinsically bursting neurons, thalamocortical relay neurons, thalmic reticular neurons, hippocampal pyramidal neurons, purkinje cells in the cerebellum Silent State Bursting State Subthreshold Neuron Suprathreshold Neuron
