Yale Team Uncovers Origin of Gamma Brain Waves in Thalamus-Cortex Interaction
Yale neuroscientists have identified the precise origin of gamma brain waves, tracing them to interactions between the thalamus and cortex. The breakthrough could reshape understanding of neurological disorders and cognitive processing.
A Century-Old Neuroscience Puzzle Solved
For over a hundred years, scientists have been tracking the brain’s rhythmic electrical patterns without fully understanding where they come from or exactly what they do. Now, according to research published in Nature, Yale University neuroscientists have cracked one of neuroscience’s enduring mysteries by pinpointing the origin of gamma waves and linking them directly to behavior.
