Abstract:
Oscillatory activity in the beta frequency range from sensorimotor cortices is modulated by movement; however, the functional role of this activity remains unknown. In a recent study, Tan et al. tested a novel hypothesis that beta power reflects estimates of uncertainty in parameters of motor forward models.

Brain waves are electrical signals generated by the neurons in the brain, which are regularly monitored to measure mental activities. Brain waves and their frequency ranges can be measured using an electroencephalogram or EEG. There are four main types of brain waves, each with distinct characteristics:

01:13Functional Brain Systems: Reticular Formation
5.9K
The reticular formation is a complex network of gray and white matter located within the brainstem extending from the medulla to the midbrain.
Within the reticular formation, there are several distinct nuclei that can be classified into three broad categories. The Raphe nuclei are located along the midline of the brainstem. They are primarily known for their role in synthesizing and releasing serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, appetite, sleep, and circadian rhythms. The...
