How Your Brain Switches Between Memory and Novelty

In this episode,Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander reads and discusses a groundbreaking neuroscience article from NeuroscienceNews.com.

We explore how the brain flexibly switches its communication pathways, balancing between recalling stored memories and processing new sensory information.

This mechanism, driven by the interaction of slow theta and fast gamma rhythms regulated by inhibitory circuits, has profound implications for understanding attention, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and addiction.

The research, led by Claudio Mirasso and Santiago Canals, was published in PLOS Computational Biology.
