A new paper suggests that brain waves and brain rhythms are actually key factors in cognition and disruptions predict brain disorders.
The key to what?
To everything!
Everything?! Isn’t our brain driven by brain cells and the chemical transmitters?
Yes, and a lot of what I have reported on these pages also focuses on brain regions and the chemicals that communicate between the regions and cells and the respective networks.
But I have also reported on other features such as the coordination between brain regions, how brain waves flush out toxins, and one that I found fascinating on swirls of activity moving across the brain:
Ok, so brain waves and rhythms are important then but aren’t they the result of the neurons firing together.
Well, yes but it also seems that there is a much stronger interaction than previously assumed — notable in the article on swirling…
