Adults with combined-type ADHD show distinct patterns of sleep-like slow-wave brain activity while fully awake, and those patterns track with attention failures and cognitive dysfunction. The finding ...

Researchers have identified a surprising brain pattern that may help explain why people with ADHD often struggle to stay focused. Even while awake, their brains can slip into brief episodes of ...

Adults with ADHD experience more frequent "sleep-like" brain activity while awake, driving lapses in attention and task errors.

Adults with ADHD may experience more bursts of sleep-like brain activity even while awake, causing brief lapses in attention. These micro “rest moments” in the brain could help explain why tasks ...

New from JNeurosci, Elaine Pinggal, from Monash University, and colleagues assessed how sleep-like brain activity in awake adults influences sustained attention during a task.

The brains of adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can briefly enter a sleep-like state, even during ...

A machine-learning analysis of brain waves recorded during sleep may help identify people at high risk of developing dementia, according to a study led by UC San Francisco and Beth Israel Deaconess ...

Researchers report distinct brain activity patterns between adults with ADHD and neurotypical peers during inhibitory control tasks.

As humans grow older, their emotional stability and sleep patterns can change significantly. For instance, some past studies have found that many older adults find it harder to manage negative ...

A machine-learning study finds that "brain age" calculated from sleep EEG waves can predict dementia risk, with a 10-year age gap increasing risk by 40%.

A machine-learning analysis of brain waves recorded during sleep may help identify people at high risk of developing dementia, according to a study led by UC San Francisco and Beth Israel Deaconess ...
