New sleep research links two measurable brain-wave patterns during deep sleep to sharper thinking, no matter how many hours ...

Scientists have identified a new early warning sign for Alzheimer’s disease linked to sleep patterns, specifically delayed REM sleep, which could provide critical insights into early diagnosis and ...

Although we know sleep is essential to our physical and mental well-being, it remains an incredibly enigmatic behavior, scientifically speaking. Researchers at the University of Michigan, however, may ...

In a recent study published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, researchers investigated the impacts of full-night-, early-night deprivation-, and late-night deprivation sleep on whole-brain ...

A new study has found a link between rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and Alzheimer’s disease. The research from China, published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia by the Alzheimer’s Association, ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, a team of researchers in the United States (U.S.) used longitudinal, objectively measured data on sleep patterns and durations obtained from ...

A new study finds that chronic caffeine consumption has surprising effects on sleep patterns and brain blood flow in mice, increasing brain blood flow during sleep. The study, led by Dr. Andrew ...

The Rat That Ran the Maze Twice In 2001, neuroscientists Matthew Wilson and Kenway Louie at MIT wired electrodes into the hippocampi of rats and let them run a maze during the day. At night, while the ...

In a new study from the University of Michigan, researchers have coupled experiments with models of neuronal circuits, like the one shown here, to investigate the role of the non-REM to REM sleep ...
