Brain works best when cells keep right rhythms
PhysOrg Sun, 26 Apr 2009 11:18 AM PDT
It is said that each of us marches to the beat of a different drum, but new Stanford University research suggests that brain cells need to follow specific rhythms that must be kept for proper brain functioning. These rhythms don't appear to be working correctly in such diseases as schizophrenia and autism, and now two papers due to be published online this week by the journals Nature and Science ... |
Making waves in the brain: Researchers use lasers to induce gamma brain waves in mice
PhysOrg Sun, 26 Apr 2009 11:02 AM PDT
Scientists have studied high-frequency brain waves, known as gamma oscillations, for more than 50 years, believing them crucial to consciousness, attention, learning and memory. Now, for the first time, MIT researchers and colleagues have found a way to induce these waves by shining laser light directly onto the brains of mice. |

Brain works best when cells keep right rhythms, new Stanford studies suggest
EurekAlert! Sun, 26 Apr 2009 10:28 AM PDT
( Stanford University Medical Center ) New Stanford University research suggests that brain cells need to follow specific rhythms that must be kept for proper brain functioning. These rhythms don't appear to be working correctly in such diseases as schizophrenia and autism, and now two papers due to be published online this week by the journals Nature and Science demonstrate that precisely ... |
