A new study suggests the thalamus controls the development of state dependency and continuity. Consciousness requires continuous, internally generated activity in the brain. The modulation of this ...

Consciousness requires continuous, internally generated activity in the brain. The modulation of this activity is the basis of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and of generation of sleep, dreams, and ...

Sofya Kulikova, a researcher at HSE University in Perm, is part of an international research team that has discovered potential mechanisms that explain the sleep spindle deficit in ...

EEG records the electrical activity of the brain using 256 electrodes placed on the scalp. Combining mathematical algorithms with anatomical imaging allows non-invasive measurement of activity in the ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

WASHINGTON (May 15, 2019) -- Neonatal brain injury is a leading cause of lifelong disability. Researchers at the George Washington University (GW) are laying the groundwork for a future where health ...

EEG revealed low-voltage background activity, with intermittent rhythmic slowing in the frontotemporal regions. No sharp- and slow-wave complexes were seen. Fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) ...

The investigators, in the Department of Neurosurgery in the UAB Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine, developed a novel way to identify brain activity that could be predictive of the onset of a ...

Neonatal brain injury is a leading cause of lifelong disability. Researchers at the George Washington University (GW) are laying the groundwork for a future where health care providers can more ...
