"Shared Brain Wave Pattern Found in Primates, Including Humans"
Scientists have discovered a universal pattern of brain waves in multiple primate species, including humans, which involves distinct electrical activity in the six layers of tissue covering the outer surface of the brain. This pattern, revealed in a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests a mechanism for how the brain consciously switches focus from one piece of information to the next. The researchers hope to further study how conditions affecting the brain may disrupt this universal pattern, potentially aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions like Alzheimer's and schizophrenia.
