Steady state visual evoked potentials in schizophrenia: A review by Alexander Schielke, Bart Krekelberg

Beta, but not gamma, band oscillations index visual form-motion integration. by Charles Aissani, Jacques Martinerie, Lydia Yahia-Cherif, Anne-Lise Paradis, Jean Lorenceau

“…Trial-by-trial classification of perceptual reports based on beta band oscillations was significant in most observers, further supporting the view that modulation of beta power reliably index perceptual integration of form/motion stimuli, even at the individual level.…”

Neurophysiology of Brain Networks Underlies Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease: A Basis for Diagnosis and Management by Martha Teresa Acosta-Mejia, Nelson Villalobos

“…The purpose of this review was to summarize the results of neurophysiological changes, especially in the network oscillation in the beta-band level associated with parkinsonism, and to discuss the use of these methods to optimize the diagnosis and management of PD.…”

Assessing cognitive workloads of assembly workers during multi-task switching by Bin Ren, Qinyu Zhou, Jiayu Chen

“…The results show that the average value of the power spectral densities (PSDs) of the gamma band signal of the AF4 channel and the beta band signal of Channel F3 show distinctive signal patterns among task stages and intervals. …”

Principles of Electrophysiological Assessments for Movement Disorders by Kai-Hsiang Stanley Chen, Robert Chen

“…The presence of Bereitschafts-potentials and beta-band desynchronization recorded by EEG before movement onset provide strong evidence for functional movement disorders. …”

Bifurcation analyses and potential landscapes of a cortex–basal ganglia–thalamus model by Chenri Yan, Quansheng Liu, Yuanhong Bi

“…Abstract The dynamics of cortical neuronal activity plays important roles in controlling body movement and is regulated by connection weights between neurons in a cortex–basal ganglia–thalamus (BGCT) loop. Beta‐band oscillation of cortical activity is closely associated with the movement disorder of Parkinson's disease, which is caused by an imbalance in the connection weights of direct and indirect pathways in the BGCT loop. …”

Upside down crossed-cerebellar diachisis: Proposing chronic stimulation of the dentatothalamocortical pathway for post-stroke motor recovery. by Andre eMachado, Kenneth B Baker

“…Results: Deep cerebellar stimulation modulated cortical excitability in a frequency dependent fashion. Beta band stimulation yielded sustained increment in excitability and was associated with enhanced motor recovery compared to sham stimulation. …”

Distinct beta frequencies reflect categorical decisions by Elie Rassi, Yi Zhang, Germán Mendoza, Juan Carlos Méndez, Hugo Merchant, Saskia Haegens

“…We found that two distinct beta-band frequencies were consistently associated with the two relative categories, with activity in these bands predicting the animals’ responses. …”

Enhanced motor imagery of digits within the same hand via vibrotactile stimulation by Vadivelan Ramu, Kishor Lakshminarayanan

“…The subjects performed motor imagery tasks with and without a brief vibrotactile sensory stimulation prior to performing motor imagery using either their left-hand index, middle, or thumb digits. Mu- and beta-band event-related desynchronization (ERD) at the sensorimotor cortex and an artificial neural network-based digit classification was evaluated.ResultsThe ERD and digit discrimination results from our study showed that ERD was significantly different between the vibration conditions for the index, middle, and thumb. …”

The role of the subthalamic nucleus in response inhibition: evidence from local field potential recordings in the human subthalamic nucleus. by Ray, N, Brittain, J, Holland, P, Joundi, R, Stein, J, Aziz, T, Jenkinson, N

“…In particular we measured activity in the STN that has traditionally been associated with motor action (gamma-band, 60-100 Hz) and inhibition (beta-band, 10-30 Hz). Our data support the idea that beta activity in the STN is related to the inhibition of motor action. …”

Multi-subject hierarchical inverse covariance modelling improves estimation of functional brain networks by Colclough, G, Woolrich, M, Harrison, S, Rojas López, P, Valdes-Sosa, P, Smith, S

“…Using data from the Human Connectome Project, we show that these hierarchical models are able to reduce the measurement error in meg beta-band functional networks by 10%, producing concomitant increases in estimates of the genetic influence on functional connectivity.…”

Predicting beta bursts from local field potentials to improve closed-loop DBS paradigms in Parkinson's patients by Martin Moraud, E, Tinkhauser, G, Agrawal, M, Brown, P, Bogacz, R

Event-related beta desynchronization in human subthalamic nucleus correlates with motor performance. by Kühn, A, Williams, D, Kupsch, A, Limousin, P, Hariz, M, Schneider, G, Yarrow, K, Brown, P

“…The findings suggest that, firstly, the subthalamic nucleus is involved in the preparation of externally paced voluntary movements in humans and, secondly, the degree of synchronization of subthalamic nucleus activity in the beta band may be an important determinant of whether motor programming and movement initiation is favoured or suppressed.…”

“…The output of a divergent pathway from upstream VTA glutamatergic neurons, paced by a slower (4-Hz) oscillation, actuates this multi-network beta-band coactivation; its closed-loop phase-informed suppression prevents renewal of cocaine-biased behavior. …”

Conditions for the generation of beta oscillations in the subthalamic nucleus-globus pallidus network. by Holgado, A, Terry, JR, Bogacz, R

“…The advance of Parkinson's disease is associated with the existence of abnormal oscillations within the basal ganglia with frequencies in the beta band (13-30 Hz). While the origin of these oscillations remains unknown, there is some evidence suggesting that oscillations observed in the basal ganglia arise due to interactions of two nuclei: the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the globus pallidus pars externa (GPe). …”
