New Study Shows How Light Sleep Improves Your Cognition

New Study Shows How Light Sleep Improves Your Cognition

NREM sleep boosts cognitive performance by synchronizing brain activity during sleep and promoting independent neuron firing afterward. Researchers replicated these benefits with electrical stimulation, offering new potential for therapies and cognitive enhancement without sleep. Discovery hints at wide-ranging potential for enhancing brain function Although…

New insights into sleep uncover key mechanisms related to cognitive function

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 study by a team of researchers at Rice University and Houston Methodist’s Center for Neural Systems Restoration…

Tweaking non-neural brain cells can cause memories to fade

Tweaking non-neural brain cells can cause memories to fade

Astrocytes (labelled in black) sit within a field of neurons. “If we go back to the early 1900s, this is when the idea was first proposed that memories are physically stored in some location within the brain,” says Michael R. Williamson, a researcher at…
