Slow-wave sleep plays a crucial role in strengthening memory by enhancing synaptic connections in the brain, with new ...

I love it when researchers observe an extra-weird particle, and this week, scientists reported the observation of a particle ...

It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the ...

A recent paper suggests a new form of inhibitory circuit in cortex, in which a pyramidal cell directly excites the presynaptic terminal of an inhibitory interneuron, allowing the rapid and ...

Scientists believe that our brains replay the events of the day when we sleep. The brain moves information from the ...

Slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories - but how?

New research shows that slow-wave sleep strengthens synaptic connections in the neocortex, making it more receptive to ...

German neuroscientists have made a significant advancement in finally uncovering the long-missing link between deep sleep and ...

Now, a team of researchers posits an explanation. According to the study, the slow waves make the neocortex, the location of long-term memory, especially receptive to information. The findings ...
