Description

The abstract describes that IFN-γ-induced moderate nitric oxide release impairs gamma rhythm activity and cognitive functions, but the mechanistic pathway connecting NO to network oscillations is not explained. This gap is crucial since gamma rhythms are fundamental to cognitive processing and are disrupted in multiple neurodegenerative diseases.
