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, emotion, movement, and perception. The type of brain waves that diagnostic tests measure indicate the simultaneous action of nerve activity throughout the brain. Researchers associate...

Study Reveals a Universal Pattern of Brain Wave Frequencies
Throughout the brain’s cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT and Vanderbilt University neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show distinct patterns of electrical activity, which are consistent over many brain regions and across several animal species, including humans. A...
