Why do we remember certain moments while forgetting others? Every day, our minds are bombarded with thousands of pieces of ...

While it's well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly those related to nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, remain largely unexplored. A new ...

Not only does a lack of sleep make you feel awful, research has shown it impairs the brain. What's more, sleep loss over long periods can even increase risk for Alzheimer's and other neurological ...

The Brain's Cleaning Shift Only Runs at Night During deep sleep, specifically the slow-wave stage that dominates the first ...

The model of sleep homeostasis regulation proposed in this study. Prolonged wakefulness activates CaMKII in PV-expressing neurons. The activated CaMKII then activates PV-expressing neurons, leading to ...

Researchers have found that people with obstructive sleep apnea have an increased cardiovascular risk due to reduced blood oxygen levels, largely explained by interrupted breathing. Obstructive sleep ...

Scientists reveal how sleep, especially naps, boosts motor learning after TBI, offering new insights into brain activity and rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery outcomes. New research ...

Sleep helps the brain to cleanse itself – and now this process can be measured in humans entirely non-invasively. Researchers at the University of Oulu have developed a method that allows the ...

The connection between a poor night’s sleep and a churning stomach is familiar, but researchers are finding that the ...

Anyone who has had to share a room—or worse, a bed—with a loud snorer knows the effect unchecked snoring can have on sleep, sanity and emotional stability. An entire industry of products, technologies ...
