视觉信号在中枢的整合:同步振荡产生的机理和功能

Integration of Visual Signals in the Brain: Mechanisms and Functional Significance of Synchronous Oscillation

神经系统内各信息通道的信号间如何整合？一个可能的途径就是通过同步振荡来协调。本文对同步振荡的研究进展作了回顾，侧重介绍了视皮层内同步振荡的提出、实验依据、产生的机理和功能意义，并对可能的进展作了展望。

How are the functions performed by one part of the nervous system integrated with those of others? One possible way is by synchronous oscillation. We have reviewed recent advances in visual system, where synchronous oscillations have been intensively observed and investigated. This article is concentrated on discussing theoretical reasoning,experimental evidence, possible mechanisms underlying the generation and the functional significance of visual synchronous oscillations. Predictions on several prosperous areas were also outlined.
