TLDR

Quanta Magazine says unexpected wave patterns traveling across the human brain may reorganize its activity in real time. Cognitive neuroscientist Earl K. Miller describes cortical neurons as poised near firing; oscillating electrical activity can alter voltage gradients at their synapses, making them more or less likely to fire later.

Quanta Magazine@QuantaMagazineCognitive neuroscientist Earl K. Miller describes neurons in the cortex as “Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall,” teetering right on the edge of firing. Oscillating electrical activity can alter the voltage gradient at the synapses that connect neurons, making them more or less likely to fire in the future. https://www.quantamagazine.org/surprisingly-complex-waves-reveal-the-brains-inner-workings-20260930/2h
