  2. Neural oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_oscillation

    A number of nuclei in the brainstem have diffuse projections throughout the brain influencing concentration levels of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, acetylcholine and serotonin. These neurotransmitter systems affect the physiological state, e.g., wakefulness or arousal , and have a pronounced effect on amplitude of different brain ...

  3. Electroencephalography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroencephalography

    [58] [77] More specifically, the scalp electrical potentials that produce EEG are generally thought to be caused by the extracellular ionic currents caused by dendritic electrical activity, whereas the fields producing magnetoencephalographic signals [28] are associated with intracellular ionic currents. [78]

  4. Electrical brain stimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_brain_stimulation

    Electrical brain stimulation was first used in the first half of the 19th century by pioneering researchers such as Luigi Rolando [citation needed] (1773–1831) and Pierre Flourens [citation needed] (1794–1867), to study the brain localization of function, following the discovery by Italian physician Luigi Galvani (1737–1798) that nerves and muscles were electrically excitable.

  5. Brainwave entrainment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_entrainment

    Brainwave entrainment, also referred to as brainwave synchronization or neural entrainment, refers to the observation that brainwaves (large-scale electrical oscillations in the brain) will naturally synchronize to the rhythm of periodic external stimuli, such as flickering lights, [1] speech, [2] music, [3] or tactile stimuli.

  6. Excitatory synapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitatory_synapse

    There are two different kinds of synapses present within the human brain: chemical and electrical. Chemical synapses are by far the most prevalent and are the main player involved in excitatory synapses. Electrical synapses, the minority, allow direct, passive flow of electric current through special intercellular connections called gap ...

  7. Biological neuron model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_neuron_model

    Electrical input–output membrane voltage models – These models produce a prediction for membrane output voltage as a function of electrical stimulation given as current or voltage input. The various models in this category differ in the exact functional relationship between the input current and the output voltage and in the level of detail.

  8. Electrophysiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiology

    Electrophysiology [2] is the branch of physiology that pertains broadly to the flow of ions (ion current) in biological tissues and, in particular, to the electrical recording techniques that enable the measurement of this flow.

  9. Neural network (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_network_(biology)

    It is now apparent that the brain is exceedingly complex and that the same brain “wiring” can handle multiple problems and inputs. James' [5] theory was similar to Bain's; [4] however, he suggested that memories and actions resulted from electrical currents flowing among the neurons in the brain. His model, by focusing on the flow of ...
