Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on the ...

Researchers discover rotating spiral brain waves that travel across cortical networks, acting as a space-and-time clock for ...

These wide-ranging waves quickly link the specific constellations of brain regions that work in harmony to perform a task. In the space of just a few seconds, a person walking down a city block might ...

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, ...

Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on-the-move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external ...

When electrical activity travels across the brain, it moves like ripples on a pond. The motion of these "brain waves," first observed in the 1920s, can now be seen more clearly than ever before thanks ...

Have you ever put your keys down and then completely forgotten where to find them? The brain has to work hard to protect information in your working memory from distractions. How this process works ...

The brain’s cortex, which handles higher cognitive functions in mammals, is split into six distinct physical layers marked by varying cell types, sizes and connections—and new research suggests these ...

New research suggests that if you hang in there for just a few minutes of meditation, your brain can start to shift in ...

The brain divides vision between its two hemispheres-what's on your left is processed by your right hemisphere and vice versa-but your experience with every bike or bird that you see zipping by is ...
