New research shows that slow oscillations in the brain, which occur during deep sleep and anesthesia, are guided by neuronal excitability rather than structural anatomy. Using computational models and experiments in mice, scientists demonstrated that the most excitable brain region directs the flow of these waves, like a leader setting a trend.
