A multidisciplinary neuroscience study using rare, intraoperative brain recordings suggests that low frequency stimulation of a deep brain region may be able to improve cognitive function in patients ...

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 ...

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 ...

To produce your thoughts and actions, your brain processes information in a hierarchy of regions along its surface, or cortex, ranging from "lower" areas that do basic parsing of incoming sensations ...

Nicholas G. Hatsopoulos, Ph.D., Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago, has long been interested in space. Specifically, the physical space occupied by the brain.

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 ...

Individual frequency can be used to specifically influence certain areas of the brain and thus the abilities processed in them - solely by electrical stimulation on the scalp, without any surgical ...

When a sound repeats steadily—like a drumbeat, a bell, or even a clock ticking—it doesn’t just echo in your ears. Deep inside your brain, something far more interesting happens. Instead of just ...

Adjusting a specific deep-brain circuit's firing frequency immediately and dramatically alters rats' forebrain activity and alertness levels, Stanford University School of Medicine investigators have ...
