Researchers at Johns Hopkins have identified specific neurons in the zona incerta that appear to help promote sleep. The discovery could help develop new treatments for insomnia and other sleep disorders.
Sleep spindles assist with the processing of relevant memories during sleep and help boost memory consolidation, researchers report.
Researchers have discovered a brain circuit that governs how certain memories are consolidated in the brain during sleep.
A new study could be the first step to understanding the biochemistry that controls the switch from sleep to wakefulness, researchers believe.
Study reinforces and explains the links between sleep deprivation and neurodegenerative diseases, researchers say.
A new study reveals people fall asleep faster when being rocked. Additionally, they showed improvements in memory consolidation and spent more time in non-REM sleep.
Researchers report transcranial alternating current stimulation applied during sleep can help accelerate learning, memory and skill acquisition.
A new study reports on a link between lack of restorative sleep and an accumulation of amyloid beta.
Dreams that appear to be simultaneously realistic and bizarre help our brains learn and extract generic concepts from previous experiences, a new study reports.
Study identifies a key role the brainstem neurotensinergic neurons play in non-REM sleep regulation.
Sleep may be regulated by inflammasome NLRP3, researchers report.
A simple actimeter device is helping researchers better understand sleep duration and quality in humans.
