Sleep is essential for much of the animal kingdom. During the night, neuron and tissue repair mechanisms are activated to aid ...

The model of sleep homeostasis regulation proposed in this study. Prolonged wakefulness activates CaMKII in PV-expressing neurons. The activated CaMKII then activates PV-expressing neurons, leading to ...

Research into sleep function and mechanisms has revealed a remarkable degree of conservation across species, from invertebrates such as Drosophila to complex vertebrates. In Drosophila, sleep is not ...

While it’s well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly those related to nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, remain largely unexplored. A new ...

It may take up to eight weeks of magnesium supplementation to notice a significant improvement in sleep quality. See what factors affect it.

A significant breakthrough in the understanding of sleep mechanism opens new promise for treating sleep disorders and associated neuropsychiatric conditions: Scientists have pinpointed the melatonin ...

Scientists reveal how sleep, especially naps, boosts motor learning after TBI, offering new insights into brain activity and rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery outcomes. New research ...

The mechanisms in the brain that should reduce pain don’t work as well in people with migraine when they haven’t gotten enough sleep. For the first time, researchers have studied what happens in the ...

The timing of your daily shower might be more consequential than you realize. While morning showers have their merits for kickstarting the day, mounting evidence suggests that bathing before bedtime ...

boy laying in bed The comorbid presence of central apnea has been identified by multiple researchers as predictive of SUDEP. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) has an estimated incidence rate ...
