By measuring thousands of neurons along the surface, or cortex, of the brain in animals as they reacted to predictable and surprising images, the researchers observed that low frequency alpha and beta ...

The six anatomical layers of the mammalian brain cortex show distinct patterns of electrical activity which are consistent throughout the entire cortex and across several animal species, including ...

A new study of neural oscillations during varying stages of consciousness shows that anesthesia doesn’t just knock us out—it ...

Researchers capture the first direct evidence in humans that a single 20-minute exercise session triggers memory-boosting brain ripples.

A new study has found high frequency propagating activity patterns in the motor cortex that contain details of upcoming movement -- information that could lead to the development of better ...

In A Nutshell The brain’s attention system does not hold steady; it cycles through windows of vulnerability roughly 7 times per second, driven by a neural rhythm called theta oscillations. A second, ...

High‑frequency brain stimulation that synchronizes frontal–parietal activity led people to choose more generously, suggesting that altruism depends on rapid neural coordination.

THE FACTS: Both virus variants and brain wave frequencies are named using letters from the Greek alphabet. But the names have no connection. As news about the delta COVID-19 variant made headlines, ...

A recent study published in the Journal of Sleep Research suggests that people who frequently experience lucid dreams have specific physical network patterns in their brains. Scientists found that the ...
