Intracranial characterization of gamma in humans in response to auditory gratings

Activity in the gamma frequency range (>30Hz) serves as a neural hallmark of stimulus encoding across multiple sensory modalities. Based on its distinct properties, this activity could be classified as broadband or narrowband oscillations. Visual stimuli, such as a grating, induce narrowband oscillations, which have sh...

Implications of Trauma in Patients With Cervical Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL).
