Gamma oscillations are ubiquitous in brain and are believed to be inevitable for information processing in brain. Here, we report that distinct bands (low, 30-40Hz and high gamma, 60-80Hz) of stimulus-triggered gamma oscillations are systematically linked to the orientation selectivity index (OSI) of neurons in the cat primary visual cortex. The gamma-power is high for the highly selective neurons in the low-gamma band, whereas it is high for the broadly selective neurons in the high-gamma band. We suggest that the low-gamma band is principally implicated in feed-forward excitatory flow, whereas the high-gamma band governs the flow of this excitation.
伽马振荡在大脑中普遍存在,并且被认为是大脑信息处理过程中不可或缺的。在此,我们报告,刺激诱发的伽马振荡的不同频段(低频,30 - 40赫兹;高频伽马,60 - 80赫兹)与猫初级视觉皮层中神经元的方向选择性指数(OSI)存在系统性关联。对于低伽马频段中高选择性的神经元,伽马功率较高;而对于高伽马频段中宽泛选择性的神经元,伽马功率也较高。我们认为,低伽马频段主要涉及前馈兴奋性信息流,而高伽马频段则控制这种兴奋的流动。
