It is during sleep when the brain reviews all of the information it received during the day, and either cements it into long term memory or discards it. Until now, the sorting mechanism was a mystery.

Rhythmicity is prevalent in the cortical dynamics of diverse single and multicellular systems. Current models of cortical oscillations focus primarily on cytoskeleton-based feedbacks, but information ...

Scientists have recently found that the temperatures in Saturn's equatorial atmosphere oscillate with a period of about 15 Earth years. The temperature swing's signal was detected by analyzing ...

We can’t see it, but brains hum with electrical activity. Brain waves created by the coordinated firing of huge collections of nerve cells pinball around the brain. The waves can ricochet from the ...

Our long-term memory is consolidated when we sleep. Short-term memory traces in the hippocampus, an area deep in the brain, are then relocated to more outer parts of the brain. An international team ...

The film explores the nature of sound waves, demonstrating how sound travels as a wave through air, which acts as a medium. It illustrates sound generation using a loudspeaker, examines oscillation, ...

As many believe, the Big Bang started our universe. But not everyone is aware that the early world is nothing like what we can see these days. There's no stars, planets, galaxies or nebulas. For a bit ...

Our long-term memory is consolidated when we sleep. Short-term memory traces in the hippocampus, an area deep in the brain, are then relocated to more outer parts of the brain. An international team ...

Using light pulses, scientists have recently managed to control theta oscillations in mouse brain. They discovered that these brain waves coordinate movement - enabling signaling between distant brain ...

The quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) is a nearly periodic reversal in the equatorial stratospheric zonal winds, characterised by alternating easterly and westerly regimes over an average period of ...

Small magnetic waves have been discovered at Earth's core, with each oscillation working on a seven year cycle. Earth's magnetic field is generated by electric currents generated by the movement of ...
