Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects 11% of children ages 4-17, and the numbers diagnosed continue to rise. ADHD continues to be one of the most common childhood mental health ...

A special brain-wave cap can diagnose stroke in the ambulance, allowing the patient to receive appropriate treatment faster. Neurologist Jonathan Coutinho, Technical Physician Wouter Potters and ...

New research shows that slow oscillations in the brain, which occur during deep sleep and anesthesia, are guided by neuronal excitability rather than structural anatomy.

The timing of our brain waves shapes which words we hear. Researchers used psychophysics, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to test whether neural timing influences perception of more or less ...

Researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences in Spain have discovered that slow brain waves during sleep and anesthesia are ...

Slow waves that usually only occur in the brain during sleep are also present during wakefulness in people with epilepsy and may protect against increased brain excitability associated with the ...

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, ...

The brain never rests: even during deep sleep or under anesthesia, it maintains rhythmic electrical activity known as slow ...

Why do memories falter with age? In a preprint posted on bioRxiv on May 22, scientists led by Omer Sharon and sleep researcher Matthew Walker at the University of California, Berkeley, suggested that ...
