«We think that delta
wave burst of activity acts like a «go» signal that triggers individual neurons to start ramping their activity to encode the passage of time,» Parker explains.
Not exact matches
Recordings
of neural
activity in the frontal cortex
of the rats showed that, like humans with schizophrenia, these rats also lacked the low frequency
burst of brain
activity (delta
wave) during the timing task.
They also lacked a low frequency
burst of brain
activity (the delta brain
wave) that occurs right at the start
of the trial in healthy subjects.
As the rats were learning the task, their brain
activity showed
bursts of fast gamma
waves.
«Immediately after the rat is exposed to the smell there is a
burst in
activity of 20 Hz
waves in a specific connection between an area in the entorhinal cortex, lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC), and an area in the hippocampus, distal CA1 (dCA1), while a similar strong response was not observed in other connections,» Igarashi explains.
In deep, slow -
wave sleep, recordings
of the brain's electrical
activity show sparse
bursts of big, slow
waves.
A new Brown University study stands to substantially refine what they thought was going on: what really matters is not a sustained elevation in beta
wave power, but instead the rate
of specific
bursts of beta
wave activity, ideally with perfect timing.
During periods
of high solar
activity, CMEs often
burst from the Sun as
waves of particles and plasma, triggering auroras and occasional electronic chaos when they wash over Earth.
