摘要

Repeatedly processing an object leads to subsequent behavioral improvements in its identification and reductions in associated neural activity, a form of neural processing efficiency that multiple theoretical models have attempted to explain. Using simultaneous EEG/fMRI in humans during object naming, we find that stimulus-driven oscillatory power from high (gamma) to low frequencies (theta) increases and resolves earlier with repetition in task-engaged frontal and occipitotemporal brain regions identified as showing repetition suppression in fMRI. Repetition-related increases and decreases in gamma oscillatory power in these regions were correlated with behavioral priming across subjects (|rs| ≥ 0.39) and additionally with fMRI repetition suppression in left frontal cortex (r = -0.37). Similar correlations were observed between behavioral priming and oscillatory power changes when effects were examined within subjects (|rs| ≥ 0.34). Collectively, these data provide multimodal support for a novel mixture of the previously proposed Synchrony and Facilitation models.
