New research from neuroscientists shows that caffeine specifically targets and "restores" brain circuits damaged by sleep ...

The analysis carried out by the researchers showed that sleep deprivation increased brain signaling relating to a chemical ...

One of the most important parts of living a healthy lifestyle is getting a good night's sleep. Quality sleep can prevent illness, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive function, just to name a few. A ...

Can caffeine save your social life? New research shows how caffeine restores social memory impaired by sleep deprivation by targeting the hippocampal CA2 region. Learn about the molecular mechanisms ...

Researchers have long wished to understand the connection between sleep and memory, especially how the brain encodes long-term memories during slow-wave sleep (while discarding others), or the deep ...

Memory formation, storage, and retrieval are fundamental processes that define who we are and how we interact with the world. At the cellular level, these processes rely on specialized neurons called ...

Researchers led by Masako Tamaki at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan report a link between deep sleep and cerebrospinal fluid, the clear liquid that surrounds and supports the brain and ...

Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a study published March 20 th in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Sheng ...

As 2016 closes out, most Americans, and probably most people around the world, will be glad to see it go. Some years produce an abundance of misery and this was one of them. It almost certainly hasn’t ...

Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a new study. The paradox of enhanced memory despite sleep loss could be explained ...
