Balance problems in aging and Parkinson’s may come from the body working too hard, not too little. Scientists found that the brain and muscles become overactive during even minor disturbances, yet ...

This year is the centennial anniversary of German psychiatrist Hans Berger's invention of electroencephalography (EEG), a way to record electrical activity in the brain, now called brainwaves or ...

In a study published in eNeuro, Lena Ting, from Emory University, and colleagues explored how brain and muscle activity during balance recovery change due to aging and Parkinson's. Previously, Ting's ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

Neuroscientists identified a specific neural mechanism in the human brain that tags information with emotional associations for enhanced memory. The team demonstrated that high-frequency brain waves ...

A new brain study reveals cell death supports neuron balance in the hippocampusAI generated image A type of cell death linked to iron and oxidative stress could be playing a role in keeping the brain ...

Scientists may have pinpointed a way to reverse Alzheimer’s disease in an animal study. The study, led by University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, found that restoring a central cellular energy ...

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, ...
