New research shows that rhythmic brain activity is key to temporarily maintaining important information in memory. Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester published these findings in Current Biology that found brain rhythms-; or patterns of neuronal activity-; organize the bursts of activity in the brain that maintain short-term connections.
