Researchers identify two proteins linked to alertness and the sleep-wake balance. Additionally, the study showed that the quality of wakefulness affects how quickly a mammal falls asleep.
Extended periods of wakefulness can lead to neuronal injury, researchers report.
Researchers observe changes in two populations of visual cortex neurons in rodents waking from anesthesia.
According to a new study, a good night's sleep can help people recall facts they were unable to remember prior to taking a nap.
Researchers have developed a new compound that promotes wakefulness and acts as a remedy for narcolepsy in animal models.
Researchers report green light can help to promote sleep, while blue lights can delay the need to rest, at least in mice.
Researchers have discovered a new signaling pathway that connects NMDAR and alpha 7 acetylcholine nicotinic receptors, both implicated in memory and learning. Findings could help develop new treatments for schizophrenia.
Researchers have identified neurons that control wakefulness.
Researchers look at how sleep deprivation can impact cognition, information processing and memory. A new study reveals sleep deprived mice can demonstrate sleep like brain activity while awake.
Researchers have identified novel neural pathways that help regulate sleep and wakefulness.
A new study reveals a specific pathway in the brains of fruit flies that prevents them from falling asleep during the day.
A new study reports the brain mechanisms responsible for triggering memory are identical, whether a person is awake or asleep.
