Theta returns

Kahana, Michael J, Seelig, David, Madsen, Joseph R·2001·Current Opinion in Neurobiology

Abstract

Recent physiological studies have implicated theta - a high-amplitude 4-8 Hz oscillation that is prominent in rat hippocampus during locomotion, orienting and other voluntary behaviors - in synaptic plasticity, information coding and the function of working memory. Intracranial recordings from human cortex have revealed evidence of high-amplitude theta oscillations throughout the brain, including the neocortex. Although its specific role is largely unknown, the observation of human theta has begun to reveal an intriguing connection between brain oscillations and cognitive processes.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • EEG studies have provided empirical data to sustain the predictive role played by theta oscillations in the retrieval of episodic information in wakefulness.

    “EEG studies have provided empirical data to sustain the predictive role played by theta oscillations in the retrieval of episodic information both in wakefulness (Klimesch et al., 1997, 2001; Klimesch, 1999; Kahana et al., 2001; Molle et al., 2002; Guderian and Düzel, 2005; Nyhus and Curran, 2010; White et al., 2013; Hsieh and Ranganath, 2014)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
