Despite major scientific breakthroughs, the brain largely remains a mystery, and the team from Case Western Reserve University have added to it with their latest paper on a self-propagating ‘wireless’communication they encountered that can jump across different sections of the brain
眠っている間に、脳の中の皮質と海馬は不思議な脳’波’を出している。科学者たちはこれまでに低レベル、で遅い周期的な活動があるのを、頭を切断されたマウスの脳の中に観察していた。海馬を薄く切ったものを研究することで。”長い間このような波について我々は知っていたが、その正確な機能は誰も知らなかったし、それが同時に伝えることができるとは考えていなかった。
While we’re asleep, the cortex and hippocampus in the brain send out mysterious neural ‘waves’. Scientists have previously observed a low-level, slow periodic activity in the brains of decapitated mice by studying slices of their hippocampuses.
“We’ve known about these waves for a long time, but no one knows their exact function and no one believed they could spontaneously propagate,”says neural and biomedical engineer Dominique Durand from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
