The researchers called this type of stimulation “synced.” They also tested another form of stimulation, called “mixed-phase,” where the electrode delivered pulses into the frontal lobe without regard to activity in the hippocampus. To see if these types of stimulation ...
The neocortex stands out as a stunning achievement of biological evolution. All mammals have this swath of tissue covering their brain, and the six layers of densely packed neurons within it handle the sophisticated computations and associations that produce cognitive ...
Eventually, Xenofon Strakosas, an assistant professor working in Berggren’s lab, figured out the problem: In plants, hydrogen peroxide helps the injected material bond together, but there isn’t enough peroxide in animals for the reaction to work. So Strakosas added some ...
