Dotson et al recorded neural activity in the prefrontal and parietal cortex during a working memory task. As previous studies have reported (e.g., Buschman and Miller, 2007) they found long range synchronization of 8-25 Hz oscillations between the areas. Interestingly, there found both phase synchronization at 0 and 180 degrees suggesting that the 0 deg phase synchrony helped form networks between the areas whereas the 180 deg (anti-phase) synchrony helped segregate different networks.
