When memory-related neurons in the brain fire in sync with certain theta (3-8 Hz) brain waves, the resulting image recognition and memories are stronger than if this synchronization does not occur.
"Theta oscillations are known to be involved in memory formation, and previous studies have identified correlations between memory strength and the activity of certain neurons, but the relationships between these events have not been understood. Our research shows that when memory-related neurons are well coordinated to theta waves during the learning process, memories are stronger," said Adam N. Mamelak, M.D., a neurosurgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
