Buzsáki model

The Buzsáki model describes how different parts of the brain coordinate to produce rhythmic brain waves, like the ones seen in EEG recordings. It explains that specific types of neurons generate these oscillations through synchronized activity, which helps the brain process information, coordinate movements, and form memories. Essentially, it highlights the role of rhythmic electrical patterns in communication between brain regions, acting as a timing mechanism that organizes neural activity efficiently. This understanding helps researchers explore how the brain works during different states like sleep, wakefulness, and focus.
