Theta-gamma coordination between anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortex indexes correct attention shifts
Open accessAbstract
Significance: During flexible goal-directed behavior, our frontal cortex coordinates goal-relevant information from widely distributed neuronal systems to prioritize the relevant over irrelevant information. This coordination may be realized by entraining multiple distributed systems with slow activity oscillation to phase-align their local fast oscillatory activity. We analyzed this spatially distributed oscillatory coupling in macaques during actual attentional stimulus selection. We identified that successful—but not failed—selection of relevant information followed the coupling of slow and fast frequencies at narrow oscillation phases, with interareal anatomical specificity, and based on a reset mechanism for the slow oscillation. These findings suggest a specific functional and mechanistic solution to the fundamental coordination problem in primate brains.

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Moreover, monks exhibited unique, strong gamma to theta directional coupling during meditation, which, based on the significant evidence implicating theta-gamma coupling's importance in attentional tasks (Canolty et al. 2006;Voloh et al. 2015), we believe to be directly related to the monks' attentional focus and processing.”

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.
