Brain activity and breathing rhythms decouple during deep sleep, offering new insights into Parkinson's and anesthesia.

As humans grow older, their emotional stability and sleep patterns can change significantly. For instance, some past studies ...

Turning our clocks ahead next weekend, will rob us all of an hour – as we are sleeping. With World Sleep Day coming up on Friday (March 13), and in honor of Brain Awareness Week that starts Monday ...

Researchers studying mice found that during deep non-REM sleep, breathing patterns become less synchronized with neural activity in brain regions. The findings provide new insights into sleep ...

Have you ever wondered what actually happens in the brain during sleep? While your body appears still and at rest, your brain remains highly active, carrying out essential processes that keep you ...

Scientists believe that our brains replay the events of the day when we sleep. The brain moves information from the hippocampus–where short-term memories are stored into the neocortex. In the ...

When we send that little electrical pulse to your temple, your brain recognizes that pulse and begins to mimic the pulse, nudging your brain waves into the states that they need to be in to be better ...

The research, published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience, reveals that after a seizure occurs, the brain enters a state of deep sleep that mimics the process of memory storage. Instead of ...

The brain reinforces seizure networks during post-seizure sleep by hijacking the same mechanisms used for memory consolidation.

The brain may inadvertently "learn" to have seizures by treating them like important memories to be stored, according to new ...
