The neuron mixer and its impact on human brain dynamics

The researchers demonstrate that the single neuron can act as a signal mixer to create new oscillatory frequencies from exogenous or endogenous subthreshold membrane potential oscillations.

They demonstrate that this frequency mixing originates in voltage-gated ion channels and show evidence of functional mixing in the human brain activity.

The authors show that the human electroencephalogram displays distinct clusters of local and inter-region mixing and that conversion of the salient posterior alpha-beta oscillations into gamma-band oscillations regulates visual attention.
