- Summary:
- This book provides an overview of some neurological and psychiatric conditions in which brain oscillations play a role, epilepsy being the prime example. It then analyzes the detailed mechanisms of the relevant oscillations, as elucidated by in vitro and modeling studies. Gap junctions play a surprisingly critical part.
