Summary: Researchers uncovered a direct link between irregular sleep patterns and lowered cognitive performance in early ...

By inducing specific patterns of activity in small portions of the brain in awake mice, researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have triggered a recalibration of neural ...

A new study uses optogenetics to induce localized sleep in awake mice, reversing memory loss from sleep deprivation.

Study suggests that sleep deprivation can damage memory linked to recognising familiar people, but caffeine may help restore ...

Scientists discovered that sleep deprivation damages a key brain circuit responsible for social memory, making it harder to recognize familiar individuals. In laboratory studies, caffeine restored ...

Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural ...

One of sleep’s key functions is to stabilize and integrate new memories into our brain’s long-term memory systems, a process known as "consolidation." This idea is now widely accepted, though it ...

Turn Screens Off One Hour Before Bed. Experts agree that stepping away from screens is key for an effective wind-down routine ...

These effects are based on brain plasticity — the brain’s ability to reshape itself in response to experiences and learning.
