New research in the FASEB Journal demonstrates role of IL-6 on sleep-related consolidation of specific types of memories, particularly during...
Sleeping in on the weekends may not allow you to recover from the sleep lost during the work week according to a recent sleep study.
A compound named longdaysin can be used to control the biological clock, new research shows. Researchers were able to lengthen...
With the novel use of a technique that uses light to control brain cells, Stanford University researchers have shown that...
New research at Oregon State University provides evidence for the first time that disruption of circadian rhythms – the biological...
Discovery of key link between circadian rhythms and metabolism may lead to new therapies for sleep disorders and diabetes. The...
EPFL scientists have proven that light intensity influences our cognitive performance and how alert we feel, and that these positive...
Scientists have discovered a biological marker that may help to identify which depressed patients will respond to an experimental, rapid-acting antidepressant like ketamine. The brain signal, detectable by noninvasive imaging, also holds clues to the agent's underlying mechanism, which are vital for drug development, say NIH researchers.
Contrary to previous findings, new research finds no link between chronic fatigue syndrome and the viruses XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) and pMLV (polytropic murine leukemia virus). A study reveals that research that reported patients with chronic fatigue syndrome carried these two viruses was wrong and that there is still no evidence for an infectious cause behind chronic fatigue syndrome.
UCLA researchers have for the first time measured the activity of a brain region known to be involved in learning, memory and Alzheimer's disease during sleep. They discovered that the entorhinal cortex behaves as if it's remembering something, even under anesthesia, a finding that counters conventional theories about memory consolidation during sleep.
A study shows for the first time that certain nutrients may play an underlying role in short and long sleep duration and that people who report eating a large variety of foods; an indicator of an overall healthy diet, had the healthiest sleep patterns.
Researchers identify the sleep mechanism which enables the brain to consolidate emotional memory. Additionally, they discovered a popular sleep medication heightens the response to and recollection of negative memories.
