Data from a 2018 study by the authors shows bursts of brain wave power (warmer colors) at gamma (higher) and beta (lower) frequencies during a working memory task. When beta bursts appear, there are ...
"It is unknown how beta bursts arise as a mediator of an executive command that cascades to other regions of the brain," the authors write. The authors don't claim to have all the answers. Instead, ...
An international study of 1,400-plus adults reveals creative activities like music, dance and art make brains appear ...
As information zings from cell to cell inside the brain, bursts of electricity spur its transmission. At Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), scientists have turned their attention to the tiny pores ...
Researchers uncovered how shifting levels of a brain protein called KCC2 can reshape the way cues become linked with rewards, ...
Recent research from Georgetown University suggests that a subtle shift in a single brain protein—KCC2—can send your dopamine ...
The process of deciphering information conveyed by neurons in the human brain is known as neural coding. Conventionally, it has been done by considering how neurons change their rate of firing signals ...
A new study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity suggests that the short-term brain boost caused by exercise may last 24 hours. While previous studies ...
A stroke, sometimes called a brain attack, occurs when something blocks blood supply to part of the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. In either case, parts of the brain become damaged ...
Decades of exercise research data support the common view that steady workouts over the long haul produce not only physical benefits but also improved brain function. But what about single bursts of ...
