For the first time, researchers led by Professor Dr. Petra Ritter's team have succeeded in explaining the propagation of traveling waves of activity in the human brain using a computer simulation. Previous studies indicate that these waves are important for various cognitive functions such as memory.

Researchers develop method to monitor patients with spinal muscular atrophy using sound wavesSpinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a terrible disease in which a genetic mutation causes certain nerves responsible for sending signals to muscles to degenerate. This leads to muscles wasting away, and many patients have died a painful death due to this rare condition. Genetic treatments have only been available for a few years.
