fluctuations in neuronal excitability and are thought to fine-tune the timing of spike output (Fries, 2005). Measures of synchrony in specific frequency bands facilitate communication between neuronal groups, and may be critical to numerous perceptual and cognitive processes (Uhlhaas et al., 2009a). Thus, these findings are evidence of enhanced coordinated local processing and improved inter-regional communication from adolescence to adulthood (Uhlhaas et al., 2009b).
