Rotating Spiral Brain Waves Act as a Space-and-Time Clock

Researchers identified a new class of traveling brain waves that rotate over space and time. The study reveals that these vortex-like waves are driven by a unique, circular “merry-go-round” architectural layout of neurons in the sensory cortex. Operating globally, these spiral waves synchronize activity across hemispheres, between sensory and motor networks, and down into deep subcortical structures—acting as a spatiotemporal clock to coordinate sensation, predict sequences, and guide voluntary physical action. ….[READ]
