Human memory is amazing. Psychologists who study memory have subdivided it into several memory types. First, there is sensory memory, or memory for information coming into the brain via a sensory ...

The entrainment of theta brain waves with a commercially available device not only enhances theta wave activity, but also boosts memory performance, according to new research. The entrainment of theta ...

Theta rhythm generation involves a variety of mechanisms, including theta rhythmic firing in septal and hippocampal interneurons, excitatory inputs to hippocampus and intrinsic properties of ...

Place cells are specialized neurons in a brain region known as the hippocampus, which have been found to fire when animals are in specific locations. These cells don't fire randomly, but their ...

Researchers discover a neural switch in the medial septum that commands the brain to retrieve recent memories, shedding light ...

In a new study published in Neuron titled, “Working memory readout varies with frontal theta rhythms,” researchers from the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at Massachusetts Institute of ...

Your brain emits “theta waves” when you’re falling asleep or waking up. Here’s how to use them for problem-solving. Eat. Sleep. Solve problems. Repeat. You probably spend a large part of your waking ...

We all know that meditation helps relax people, but what exactly happens in the brain during meditation? A new study suggests that nondirective meditation yields more marked changes in electrical ...

A device sold online to stimulate brain wave activity enhances theta wave activity in the brain and boosted performance on a memory test, UC Davis neuroscientists found. (Getty Images) The entrainment ...
