What Are Brain Waves?

The video explores the concept of rhythm in neural circuits, highlighting how both simple and complex circuits in the brain generate rhythmic patterns. These rhythms are crucial for coordinated motion and are consistently present in healthy brains, producing specific patterns like beta and delta rhythms. Abnormal rhythms in unhealthy brains suggest their importance. Brain waves play a role in long-term memory formation and may help synchronize brain functions. The video concludes by emphasizing the fundamental role of rhythms in the evolution of nervous systems.
