Ripples of nerve cell activity that lock in memories may have an unexpected job outside of the brain: dropping blood sugar levels in the body. Soon after a burst of ripples in a rat’s hippocampus, a brain structure that plays a key role in memory, sugar levels elsewhere in the body dipped, new experiments show. The curveball results, reported August 11 in Nature, suggest that certain types of brain activity and blood sugar control – a key part of metabolism – are entwined in surprising and mysterious ways. “This paper represents a significant advance in our understanding of how the hippocampus modulates metabolism,” says Elizabeth Gould, a neuroscientist at Princeton University who wasn’t involved in the study. Neural shudders are called sharp-wave ripples zig and zag in the brains of people as they learn new things and draw memories back up (SN: 9/14/19, p.14). Ripples also feature prominently during deep sleep and are thought to accompany the neural work of transforming short-term knowledge into long-term memories.

There’s a gentle, but effective way to brain fitness and lasting relief from neurological conditions in adults and children, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD in kids, without the need for medications: with LENS Neurofeedback. Neurofeedback – or EEG Biofeedback – uses sensitive technology to track and release ‘stuck’ or disregulated brainwave patterns, thereby helping to restore harmony and balance to the central nervous system. The LENS ( Low Energy Neurofeedback System) carries a tiny signal from and back to the brain in a way that is conducive to the brain self-adjusting – a kind of reset bringing peace, clarity and resilience.
