Researchers at Marshall University have identified a potential immune mechanism contributing to metabolic dysfunction and ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that people with obstructive sleep apnea have an increased cardiovascular risk due to reduced blood oxygen levels, largely explained by interrupted breathing. Obstructive sleep ...

Sleep is known to be central to various physiological and mental processes, including the consolidation of memories, supporting various cognitive functions, helping to clear the brain of neurotoxins, ...

A night without sleep produced increased markers of connections between brain cells, showing that sleep in humans may be ...

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 ...

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 ...

A poster that was presented in the Tenth University Research Day at the Catholic University of America in 2025. The complex neurobehavioral process of sleep is essential in the maintenance of good ...

The blood-brain barrier is highly selective and semi-permeable, separating blood from the brain's fluid. It protects the ...

Insomnia affects a substantial proportion of the global population and arises from a complex interplay of neurobiological, endocrine and behavioural factors. Traditional approaches encompass cognitive ...

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 ...

Ever wondered why you sometimes have conversations in your sleep? These are the three leading explanations, according to ...
