This review highlights work showing that spectrally distributed oscillations and their coupling have functional relevance for sensorimotor processing.

Low-frequency synchrony between the anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal cortex is diminished when errors are made.

There is growing evidence that bottom-up sensory inputs are associated with gamma oscillations (30-120 Hz) while top-down control depends on lower frequencies from delta through beta (1-30 Hz).  This review argues that phase-phase synchrony across different frequencies integrates, coordinates, and regulates the neural assemblies in different frequency bands.

I like to say that anatomy is the road-and-highway system, activity is the traffic, and oscillations are the traffic lights.  So, here you go:

Pascal Fries and crew add to the mounting evidence that slow vs fast oscillations subserve feedback vs feedforward information flow in the cortex.
