Claim 1review summarysupports2006Source 1DOIPubMed

The review states that dendritic-dendritic gap junction networks, together with inhibitory GABAergic synapses, account for gamma synchrony.

Quoted textsource-backed
coordination of dendritic EPSPs/IPSPs leading to γ synchrony derives from a second type of neural network ... neurons connected by dendritic–dendritic gap junctions in conjunction with inhibitory synapses mediated by receptors for γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Claim 3review summarysupports2006Source 1DOIPubMed

The review states that loss of consciousness during anesthesia is associated with interruption of frontal-posterior cortical gamma synchrony and may occur abruptly.

Quoted textsource-backed
they found that loss of consciousness is a fairly abrupt transition (less than 20 ms) involving interruption of γ synchrony between frontal and posterior cortical regions
