The authors find that dopamine increased power of beta-low gamma oscillations in cortex. During visual stimulation, dopamine increased information encoding over a wide range of frequencies but most prominently in the feedforward supragranular layers and in the gamma band (50-100 Hz).

This must be correct. It is very remarkably consistent with our recent study 🙂
