Age related sleep disruptions are not due to alterations in activity of individual neurons as previously believed, researchers report.
Researchers discover more activity in the temporoparietal junction in people who are able to frequently recall their dreams.
Researchers report one brain hemisphere remains more awake than the other when we sleep somewhere new.
In worms, melatonin promotes sleep by activating the BK channel through the MT1 receptor.
Early risers take less time to complete memory related tasks than night owls, but tend to make more mistakes, a new study reports.
From consolidating memories to cleaning out toxins in the brain that accumulate during waking hours, researchers explore why sleep is so important and what happens when we don't get enough.
People with insomnia have greater brain activity in regions associated with conscious awareness during NREM sleep, researchers report.
Researchers uncover how specific retinal cells respond to the artificial light generated by cell phone and tablets. The study reveals how retinal ganglion cells process ambient light and reset our circadian clocks, leading to sleep disruptions.
Researchers report they have identified the neurons responsible for why delaying bedtime can create chronic daytime sleepiness.
REM sleep significantly increases the flow of red blood cells through the brain's capillaries.
Neurologists at the University of Michigan reveal why some people get headaches when wearing their hair in ponytails. According to researchers, ponytail headaches are an example of allodynia, a normal stimuli interpreted as painful. A lack of sleep and a predisposition to migraine are some factors that may make the experience of pain worse.
Researchers report on a link between core body temperature and circadian rhythm in mice.
