          How the Brain Controls Sleep

          Researchers have discovered a brain circuit that can trigger small regions of the brain to fall asleep or become less alert, while the rest of the brain remains awake.

          After 10-year search, scientists find second ‘short sleep’ gene

          Researchers have identified a second gene that contributes to natural short sleep. Using optogenetics, researchers triggered neurons in the pons that express the ADRB1 gene, rousing mice from sleep. Wakefulness-promoting neurons in the pons with a mutated version of ADRB1 were more easily activated.

          Less REM Sleep Tied to Greater Risk of Dementia

          A new study in Neurology reports people who don't get enough REM sleep may face a higher risk of developing dementia. Researchers noted people who developed dementia spent 17% of their time in REM sleep compared to 20% of time in REM sleep for those without the neurodegenerative disease.

          Stress and Dream Sleep Linked to Pathways of Neuron Death and Survival

          According to a new study, the consequence of daily stress is linked to an increase in REM sleep. Researchers report the increase is associated with genes involved in apoptosis and cell survival. The findings shed light on how stress leads to mood disorders, and how changes in sleep contribute to this.
