Prefrontal cortex contribution in transitive inference task through the interplay of beta and gamma oscillations.
Article in Communications biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transitive inference allows people to infer new relations between previously experienced premises. It has been hypothesized that this logical thinking relies on a mental schema that spatially organizes elements, facilitating inferential insights. However, recent evidence challenges the need for these complex cognitive processes. To dig into the neural substrate driving TI cognitive processes, we examine the role of beta and gamma local field potential bands in the prefrontal cortex of 2 monkeys. During the inferential problem-solving period, we discover a tight link between beta and gamma bands modulation and TI complexity. This correlation diminishes its strength before initiating the motor response, indicating the chosen item. Notably, while the beta band maintains a constant relationship with TI performance throughout the trial, the gamma band shows a flexible relationship. This research highlights the role of beta and gamma interplay in cognitive computations when solving TI problems.
