UC Irvine researchers have found that slow waves and sleep spindles, essential brain waves for deep sleep, also originate from the hippocampus, providing new insights into memory processing during sleep.
UC Irvine researchers have discovered that crucial brain waves for deep sleep , previously believed to be generated only by a specific brain circuit, also originate from the hippocampus, offering new insights into memory processing during sleep. biomedical engineering department have discovered a new origin for two essential brain waves — slow waves and sleep spindles —that are critical for deep sleep .
The team utilized innovative techniques – including in vitro reconstructions of hippocampal subregions and microfluidic tunnels for single axon communication – to observe spontaneous spindle waves in isolated hippocampal neurons. These findings suggest that spindle oscillations originate from active ion channels within axons, rather than through volume conduction as previously thought.

New origin of deep brain waves discoveredBiomedical engineering researchers have uncovered a previously unknown source of two key brain waves crucial for deep sleep: slow waves and sleep spindles. Traditionally believed to originate from one brain circuit linking the thalamus and cortex, the team's findings suggest that the axons in memory centers of the hippocampus play a role.
