Shorter periods of sleep and poorer quality of sleep are associated with greater buildup of beta anyloid, a new study reports.
A new study reports sleep can help clear brain molecules associated with neurodegeneration.
Children with irregular bedtimes are more likely to have behavioral difficulties, a new study finds.
Researchers find a key function of the neuropeptide sNPF which regulates sleep, hunger and metabolism in Drosophila.
Researchers discover a link between neural activity in the lateral hypothalamus and the state of REM sleep.
Researchers reduce fear by exposing people to the memory over and over while they slept. The finding could provide a new treatment option for those who suffer from phobias.
Researchers pinpoint the brain regions and brainwave frequencies associated with sleep-enhanced learning of a sequential finger tapping task.
According to new research, children with irregular bed times score significantly lower reading, maths and spatial awareness tests.
A new study shows sufferers of seasonally affective disorder (SAD), like insomniacs, report sleep patterns incorrectly due to depression.
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.
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.
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.
