Waves of synchronized, coordinated neuronal activity have been observed and studied in the brain for over a century. But for the first time, Yale researchers have identified where a certain type—known ...

When people generate creative metaphors for scientific ideas, their brains shift through distinct patterns of neural activity over time. A new study published in Psychophysiology used ...

Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...
