New origin of deep brain waves discovered

Biomedical engineering researchers have uncovered a previously unknown source of two key brain waves crucial for deep sleep: slow waves and sleep spindles. Traditionally believed to originate from one brain circuit linking the thalamus and cortex, the team's findings suggest that the axons in memory centers of the hippocampus play a role.
