Researchers discover rhythmic brain activity helps to maintain temporary m
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
According to a new study, rhythmic brain activity is essential for temporarily maintaining critical information in memory. Brain rhythms--or patterns of neural activity--organize the bursts of activity in the brain that preserve short-term connections, according to researchers from the Del M
