Synchronization of neural activity is considered essential for information processing in the
nervous system. Both local and inter-regional synchronization are omnipresent in different …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment has proven effective in suppressing symptoms of
rigidity, bradykinesia, and tremor in Parkinson’s disease. Still, patients may suffer from …

Graph theory is a valuable framework to study the organization of functional and anatomical
connections in the brain. Its use for comparing network topologies, however, is not without …

This technical note describes some Bayesian procedures for the analysis of group studies
that use nonlinear models at the first (within-subject) level – eg, dynamic causal models – and …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a core basal ganglia structure involved in the control of
motor, cognitive, motivational and affective functions. The (challenged) tripartite subdivision …

Objective High-amplitude beta band oscillations within the subthalamic nucleus are
frequently associated with Parkinson’s disease but it is unclear how they might lead to motor …

In recent studies, functional connectivities have been reported to display characteristics of
complex networks that have been suggested to concur with those of the underlying structural, …

Oscillatory activity in the beta frequency range (15–30 Hz) recorded from human sensorimotor
cortex is of increasing interest as a putative biomarker of motor system function and …

People vary in their capacity to learn and retain new motor skills. Although the relationship
between neuronal oscillations in the beta frequency range (15–30 Hz) and motor behaviour is …

We present a technical development in the dynamic causal modelling of electrophysiological
responses that combines qualitatively different neural mass models within a single network…
