摘要
How are messages from different regions of the brain bound together so that we can, say, associate a particular smell with a particular place? The accepted theory is that different stimuli are represented by the synchronous firing of different groups of nerve cells. Two studies provide evidence for this theory by showing that such synchronization occurs in humans at a frequency of around 40 Hz.
