[Neural Oscillations and Network Diseases of the Human Brain].

Oscillatory neuronal (electrical) activity in defined frequency ranges supports synchronous interactions between anatomically distinct regions of the human brain during cognitive tasks. Here in, this study presents a review of our previous studies, focusing on the neural oscillations in the sensory systems in response to external stimuli in normal healthy subjects and those with neurological disorders. Event-related evoked responses, using magnetoencephalography and high-density electroencephalography, were applied to evaluate neuromagnetic oscillations. This study demonstrated that altered neural synchronization plays an important role in distributed cortico-cortical processing. Therefore, some neuropsychiatric disorders can be conceptualized as network diseases.
