Pain suppresses spontaneous brain rhythms.
The neuronal activity of the resting human brain is dominated by spontaneous oscillatory activity of primary visual, somatosensory and motor areas. These spontaneous brain rhythms are related to the functional state of a system. A higher amplitude of oscillatory activity is thought to reflect an idling state, whereas a lower amplitude is associated with activation and higher excitability of the...
متن کاملBrain Rhythms of Pain
Pain is an integrative phenomenon that results from dynamic interactions between sensory and contextual (i.e., cognitive, emotional, and motivational) processes. In the brain the experience of pain is associated with neuronal oscillations and synchrony at different frequencies. However, an overarching framework for the significance of oscillations for pain remains lacking. Recent concepts relat...
متن کاملBrain Rhythms: Enhancing Memories
A new study shows that different processes are responsible for maintaining relevant and suppressing irrelevant information. By promoting the suppression of irrelevant information, memories may be enhanced. Everyday we are bombarded with information from the media, colleagues, spouses and friends. Some of this information is relevant and important, but other information is irrelevant and should ...
متن کاملSleep, Memory & Brain Rhythms.
Sleep occupies roughly one-third of our lives, yet the scientific community is still not entirely clear on its purpose or function. Existing data point most strongly to its role in memory and homeostasis: that sleep helps maintain basic brain functioning via a homeostatic mechanism that loosens connections between overworked synapses, and that sleep helps consolidate and re-form important memor...
