Beta rhythms regulate brain gamma waves for cognitive control

Neuroscience News April 23, 2024, 08:00 PM UTC

Summary: Summary: Beta rhythms (14-30 Hz) play a crucial role in cognitive control by regulating gamma waves in the brain. Understanding beta bursts is key to diagnosing and treating cognitive disorders like ADHD, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s. Research shows beta bursts are quick, powerful, and can propagate across long distances in the brain, aiding in cognitive therapies. Further exploration of beta rhythms is essential for advancing brain function models and treatments.
