    Burst Firing Synchronizes Prefrontal and Anterior Cingulate Cortex during Attentional Control


    Miller Lab
    Neuroscience

    Womelsdorf et al found that bursts of neural activity in the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate synchronize at gamma and beta frequencies during focused attention.  Non-burst activity did not show long-range synchronization.  Burst synchronization may underlie the formation of long-range networks.
