How can we shift from a state of inattentiveness to one of highest attention? The locus coeruleus, literally the "blue spot," is a tiny cluster of cells at the base of the brain. As the main source of the neurotransmitter ...

Chinese researchers have reported that slow rhythmic fluctuations in brain activity—theta oscillations in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)–entorhinal cortex (EC) circuit—play an essential role in enabling spatial ...

Past research suggests that brain oscillations may support different cognitive functions by coordinating spike timing inside and across different brain regions. However, the role that the timing of these oscillations plays ...
Multisensory integration has been recently shown to produce a larger pupil size than unisensory constituents. Superior colliculus (SC), an important laminar nucleus in the midbrain, not only engages in spatial attention and ...

Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. Familiar examples include a swinging pendulum and AC power. The term vibration is sometimes used more narrowly to mean a mechanical oscillation but sometimes is used to be synonymous with "oscillation". Oscillations occur not only in physical systems but also in biological systems and in human society.
