… where the coordinated electrical activity of millions of neurons produces large-scale oscillations across a broad … alpha and beta frequency waves (15-35 Hz) while incoming sensory information is encoded in higher frequency gamma … that anesthesia disrupts propagation of waves linking sensory and higher order regions of the cortex that provides …

… measured both the electrical spiking of individual neurons and the various frequencies of brain waves that … screen. The highest frequency “gamma” waves, which encode sensory information, peaked in both hemispheres when the … are active, varied inversely with the gamma waves. These sensory encoding dynamics were stronger in the ventrolateral …

… “Behind each of these processes there are networks of neurons that are working quietly in the background to … the story. A 2023 study from his lab found a population of neurons in the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract in the … that mediate sneezing and a different population of sensory neurons in the trachea that produce coughing. …

… stress levels? These are interesting questions about how sensory inputs from the body feed into stress circuits in the … nervous system. It’s well understood that sympathetic neurons are responsible for making you sweat and your heart … the field is starting to appreciate that these same neurons regulate the immune system, and can signal to stem …

… your brain achieve your current experience of integrating sensory information—the words and images on this page—with … the rhythmic electrical activity of coordinated groups of neurons. Think of brain waves as biological Wi-Fi signals. … of sleep by profoundly (but only temporarily) impairing sensory and cognitive processing. He and colleagues have …

… and scales, ranging from the molecules that help neurons communicate via “synapse” connections to the … to why many autistic people experience a feeling of sensory overload. Prediction enables the brain to filter out … activity of higher-frequency “gamma” waves that encode new sensory information. Miller’s team hypothesizes that the beta …
