Selective coupling between theta phase and neocortical fast gamma oscillations during REM-sleep in mice.

<h4>Background</h4>The mammalian brain expresses a wide range of state-dependent network oscillations which vary in frequency and spatial extension. Such rhythms can entrain multiple neurons into coherent patterns of activity, consistent with a role in behaviour, cognition and memory for...
