Saturn’s C ring is home to a surprisingly rich array of structures and textures. Much of the structure seen in the outer portions of Saturn’s rings is the result of gravitational perturbations on ring ...

Using light pulses, scientists have recently managed to control theta oscillations in mouse brain. They discovered that these brain waves coordinate movement - enabling signaling between distant brain ...

The six anatomical layers of the mammalian brain cortex show distinct patterns of electrical activity which are consistent throughout the entire cortex and across several animal species, including ...

While we sleep, one kind of slow brain wave helps to reinforce memories, but a competing wave weakens them. The brain collects far more memories than it can keep. We absorb new information throughout ...

Alpha and gamma brain waves, which are visualized by means of electroencephalography (EEG) measurements, can provide doctors with information about a patient’s mental state for diagnostic purposes.

sound waves cause air particles to vibrate back and forth ripples cause water particles to vibrate up and down Waves cause a disturbance of the medium through which they travel. This allows them to ...
