The abundance of oscillatory activity in neuronal circuits has
stimulated both theoretical and experimental neuroscience over many
decades. Questions about the role of oscillations in the
representation of information in the brain has ever since been a
source of great inspiration to neuroscientists. This Special Issue of
Network: Computation in Neural Systems
(http://informahealthcare.com/loi/net),is aimed to provide a platform
to review recent successes of computational models of neuronal
oscillations as well as insights into their computational/functional
roles.

We are inviting original research contributions, reviews, and
perspectives on all topics relevant to the theory of neuronal network
oscillations. Topics of interest  include but are not limited to:
* Biophysics of neuronal oscillators
* Phase coding,
* Phase response theory
* Dual phase-and-rate codes,
* STDP and the formation of synaptic circuits underyling oscillations
* Role of oscillations in hippocampus and in olfactory system
* Storage and replay of oscillatory pattern
* Oscillations and reverberations

Manuscripts should be submitted online via
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ncns, mentioning the special issue in
the cover letter.
