Neural synchronization: average strength vs. temporal patterning

Excessively strong neural synchrony may contribute to the symptoms of different neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders (Uhlhaas and Singer, 2006). Thus, hypokinetic symptoms of Parkinson's disease are associated with elevated beta-band synchrony (Kühn et al., 2009), however this association is not very consistent (Stein and Bar-Gad, 2013). One possible explanation is that this elevated synchrony is very intermittent (Park et al., 2010).
