Cortical oscillations in health and disease /

This book reviews a number of clinical neuropsychiatric conditions in which brain oscillations play an essential role. It discusses how the intrinsic properties of neurons, and the interactions between neurons - mediated by both chemical synapses and by gap junctions - can lead to oscillations in po...
