High-frequency oscillations

<p>High-frequency oscillations (HFO) are <a href="/facts/Brain_wave/knHbTaxg">brain waves</a> of the frequency faster than ~80 <a href="/facts/Hz/6Wshj5qm">Hz</a>, generated by <a href="/facts/Neuron/G7CyTVdH">neuronal</a> cell population. High-frequency oscillations can be recorded during an <a href="/facts/Electroencephalagram/XGvpcBl5">electroencephalagram</a> (EEG), <a href="/facts/Local_field_potential/uAPJRyz9">local field potential</a> (LFP) or <a href="/facts/Electrocorticography/j6EhFgLV">electrocorticogram</a> (ECoG) <a href="/facts/Electrophysiology/VPd5VYzm">electrophysiology</a> recordings. They are present in physiological state during <a href="/facts/Sharp_waves_and_ripples/sEXhJ8Yd">sharp waves and ripples</a> - oscillatory patterns involved in <a href="/facts/Memory_consolidation/n9JtsvIB">memory consolidation</a> processes. HFOs are associated with pathophysiology of the brain like <a href="/facts/Epileptic_seizure/zuIrQyze">epileptic seizure</a> and are often recorded during seizure onset. It makes a promising biomarker for the identification of the epileptogenic zone. Other studies points to the HFO role in <a href="/facts/Mental_disorder/EPNjFtFf">psychiatric disorders</a> and possible implications to psychotic episodes in <a href="/facts/Schizophrenia/FMP4lQ57">schizophrenia</a>.
