Abstract:
Neural oscillations reflect synchronized activities of neuronal ensembles in central nervous system. In the hippocampus, thalamus, neocortex and other brain subregions, neural oscillation can be detected and plays a crucial role in many complicated cognitive processes. Decoupling and damaging of neural oscillation play a key role in the induction of severe cognition deficits in many psychiatric disorders. In this review, we summarize research advances in the underlying mechanisms and physiological functions of neural oscillations. We also discuss the abnormal changes of sharp wave-ripple, gamma oscillation and sleep spindle oscillation in major depressive disorder, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease, etc. Finally, the application potential of neural oscillations as clinical diagnosis and treatment targets is evaluated and prospected.
