Memory formation requires higher-frequency ripples in the hippocampus and lower-frequency ripples in the parietal cortex. However, to make a memory stick, coordinated high-frequency ripples between the hippocampus and parietal cortex are required.
Tuning into a person's brain wave cycle before they perform a learning task can dramatically improve the speed at which cognitive skills improve.
Spatially organized recruitment of neural activity across the motor cortex informs details of planned movements.
Combining neuroimaging and EEG data, researchers recorded the neural activity of people while listening to a piece of music. Using machine learning technology, the data was translated to reconstruct and identify the specific piece of music the test subjects were listening to.
A group of hippocampal neurons show rhythmic activity at different frequencies in the desynchronized state, but can align their rhythmic frequency to produce a synchronized brain rhythm upon activation.
Study reveals brain wave activity in the medial prefrontal cortex and amygdala associated with social behavior in mice.
Brain wave data collected during sleep predicts the future incidences of 11 health-related outcomes, including dementia, cardiovascular health, psychological disorders, and mortality.
New findings reveal how anesthesia-induced unconsciousness differs from normal sleep in relation to delta wave activity in the brain.
Study reveals the different ways the brain parses information through interactions of waves of neural activity.
Researchers explore what happens in the brain in the moments before death and question whether our lives flash before our eyes during the final seconds of life.
Findings shed new light on how brain states are regulated and how the brain can switch between them.
People diagnosed with Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment had weaker gamma wave activation in their brains than their peers without the neurodegenerative disorders.
