Study identifies a key role the brainstem neurotensinergic neurons play in non-REM sleep regulation.
A new study reveals how tactile experiences are encoded in the brain as we sleep.
A new study shows how a three step brain oscillation plays an important role in memory consolidation.
Researchers have created a new model that may help explain how different sleep patterns may help us to solve problems. The study reveals non-REM sleep helps us categorize information, where as REM sleep helps us to draw unexpected connections between information we have been exposed to.
According to researchers, octacosanol, an active compound found in sugarcane can help reduce stress and allow people to achieve a sound sleep.
Researchers demonstrate sleep boosts communication between the neocortex and hippocampus, assisting with memory formation.
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.
A new study sheds additional light on how the brain consolidates memory during sleep. Researchers report rapid fluctuations in gamma band activity in the hippocampus during nREM sleep helps facilitate memory reactivation.
A simple actimeter device is helping researchers better understand sleep duration and quality in humans.
Study reinforces and explains the links between sleep deprivation and neurodegenerative diseases, researchers say.
A new study links poor sleep quality in older adults with elevated levels of tau, a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report poor sleep quality later in life may be associated with declining brain health and may be an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease.
A new study identifies two genes which regulate how much we dream. The genes, Chrm1 and Chrm3, play a key role in regulating REM sleep and function in different ways.
