‌Your brain is constantly at work, performing processes like thinking, concentrating, remembering, and more. During these activities, your brain cells constantly communicate with each other. This ...

Gamma brain waves are rhythmic electric processes in nerve cells called neurons. Nerve activity in the brain allows for communication throughout the brain to carry out functions such as memory, ...

New studies conducted by April Benasich, professor of neuroscience at Rutgers University in Newark, and her colleagues reveal that gamma wave activity in the brains of children provide a window into ...

The findings may provide insight into the cognitive and memory disruptions seen in diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's. The hippocampus. Image courtesy of the Colgin lab. Your brain ...

If using flashing lights to treat Alzheimer’s disease sounds like science fiction, then brace yourself, because new data strengthen the case for this idea. Previously, Li-Huei Tsai and colleagues at ...

A new UC San Francisco study has pinpointed a specific pattern of brain waves that underlies the ability to let go of old, irrelevant learned associations to make way for new updates. The research is ...

Scientists have spent decades trying to understand whether the layered sheet of tissue that covers your brain follows one common pattern for handling information. Each region of the cortex contains ...

Maintaining cognitive function and memory is more important than ever in today’s fast-paced world. Many individuals seek effective, accessible solutions to combat cognitive decline and enhance their ...

SAN DIEGO—In the textbook explanation for how information is encoded in the brain, neurons fire a rapid burst of electrical signals in response to inputs from the senses or other stimulation. The ...

Your brain is a busy place. Brain waves are, essentially, the evidence of electrical activity produced by your brain. When a group of neurons sends a burst of electrical pulses to another group of ...
