Electrical signals from the brain could help identify potential issues in the organ's development, a new study reports. Scientists from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland and the University of ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...

A new study reveals that myelin sheath damage triggers epileptiform spikes and slows REM oscillations during sleep.

This video illustrates the lifespan trajectory of the alpha process and its relationship with cortical myelination (T1w/T2w). Both the predicted myelination measure (derived from conduction efficiency ...

First study to show that delivering information at the natural tempo of our neural pulses accelerates our ability to learn. Participants who received a simple 1.5-second visual cue at their personal ...

Myelin degeneration disrupted sleep-related brain rhythms in mice and was linked to altered REM activity in patients with ...

Simultaneous measurement of neural rhythms and spikes across five brain areas in animals reveals how propofol induces unconsciousness. Slow rhythm signature can guide anesthesiologists to improve ...

Scientists have discovered how damage to the myelin sheath—the insulating layer around nerve fibers—affects brain activity during sleep. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...
