How brain currents arise
What exactly do measurements of brain waves reveal? Scientists at the Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB) developed a model that explains the relations between nerve cell activity and measurable electrical signals (December 2011).
This model will allow better interpretations of brain signals, in order to provide detailed diagnoses of different brain diseases and to choose appropriate treatments. The researchers (Henrik Lindén, Tom Tetzlaff, Tobias C. Potjans, Klas H. Pettersen, Sonja Grün (Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University, Bernstein Center Berlin), Markus Diesmann (Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University, Bernstein Center Freiburg), Gaute T. Einevoll) published their results in the current issue of the journal "Neuron".
