Chaotic Neuronal Oscillations in Spontaneous Cortical-Subcortical Networks
Oscillatory activities are widely observed in specific frequency bands of recorded field potentials in different brain regions, and play critical roles in processing neural information. Understanding the structure of these oscillatory activities is essential for understanding the brain function. So far many details remain elusive about their rhythmic structures and how these oscillations are generated. We show that many oscillatory activities in spontaneous cortical-subcortical networks, such as delta, spindle, gamma, high-gamma and sharp wave ripple bands in different brain regions, are genuine chaotic time series which can be reconstructed as chaotic attractors through appropriately selected embedding delay and dimension. The reconstructed attractors are approximated by a simple radial basis function enabling high precision short-term prediction. Simultaneously recorded oscillatory activities in multiple brain regions differ greatly in term of temporal phase and amplitude but can be approximated by the same function. Our results suggest that neural oscillations are produced by deterministic chaotic systems. The occurrence of neural oscillation events is predetermined, and the brain possibly knows when and where the information will be processed and transferred in the future time as a result of the deterministic dynamic.

A computational model describing the interplay of basal ganglia and subcortical background oscillations during working memory processes
Working memory is responsible for the temporary manipulation and storage of information to support reasoning, learning and comprehension in the human brain. Background oscillations from subcortical structures may drive a…
Sparsity Enables Estimation of both Subcortical and Cortical Activity from MEG and EEG
Subcortical structures play a critical role in brain function. However, options for assessing electrophysiological activity in these structures are limited. Electromagnetic fields generated by neuronal activity in subcor…

During sleep, the hippocampus recapitulates neuronal patterns corresponding to behavioral trajectories during previous experiences. This hippocampal replay supports the formation of long-term memories. Yet, whether repla…
HippocampusPredictive coding underlies adaptation in the subcortical sensory pathway
The subcortical sensory pathways are the fundamental channels for mapping the outside world to our minds. Sensory pathways efficiently transmit information by adapting neural responses to the local statistics of the sens…
The global communication pathways of the human brain transcend the cortical-subcortical-cerebellar division
Understanding how cortex, subcortex and cerebellum integrate is a major challenge for neuroscience, however, studies of the brain's structural connectivity have mostly focused on cortico-cortical links. Here, we used dif…
