Trouble sleeping is common in other neurodegenerative diseases, but past research has only suggested that it occurs in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Now, a new study has not only ...

Manipulating mouse brains during sleep improved their ability to remember new experiences that would normally be forgotten—a ...

A new study shows that precisely manipulating brain activity during sleep can help mice retain memories that would normally fade, offering a potential pathway for treating memory loss conditions.

Does rapid eye movement during sleep reveal where you’re looking at in the scenery of dreams, or are they simply the result of random jerks of our eye muscles? Since the discovery of REM sleep in the ...

Multiple studies in humans and mouse models indicate that sleep disruptions raise the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by increasing the accumulation of disease-relevant proteins such as amyloid-beta ...

A single mutation in a mouse protein has large effects on how the mice sleep and their level of wakefulness when conscious, a new study shows. The research could also shed light on the physiological ...

For some reason during the last week my mid-2009 MBP developed an issue where, once woken up from sleep it loses the "left mouse button" click functionality, but strangely the "right mouse button" ...

UCSF researcher Massimo Scanziani, PhD, discusses the study of rapid eye movement (REM) with physiology postdoctoral scholar Yuta Senzai, PhD. On the screen behind them are images showing eye ...

When people are awake, their pupils regularly change in size. Those changes are meaningful, reflecting shifting attention or vigilance, for example. Now, researchers reporting in Current Biology on ...
