New research shows caffeine selectively restores a brain circuit for social memory damaged by sleep loss, without overstimulating healthy neurons.
Scientists built human amygdala-like brain organoids that model stress circuitry, uncovering a novel cortisol-driven mechanism tied to primate-specific gene regulation.
A deep mechanistic exploration of how hypothalamic IKKβ/NF-κB signaling, htNSC exosomal communication, and multi-axis hormonal dysregulation drive systemic aging — plus cutting-edge therapeutic strategies.
New research tracks the surging use of GLP-1 receptor agonists among adults with obstructive sleep apnea, raising questions about real-world impact.
Researchers respond to critiques of their trial showing positive airway pressure therapy may improve cognitive outcomes in Parkinson's disease.
A negative sleep latency test doesn't rule out narcolepsy. Measuring spinal fluid hypocretin-1 identified 34 additional cases missed by standard testing.
Deep inside your brain sits a tiny region that acts like a master control center for aging. Discover how the hypothalamus influences your lifespan — and what you can do to keep it young.
A new review reveals how sleep simultaneously recharges energy, regulates neural activity, and reshapes brain connectivity to support cognition.
New research maps the low-dimensional neural dynamics in the brainstem that gate transitions from deep sleep into REM sleep.
A 102-study meta-analysis reveals 55% of adults with confirmed sleep apnea also have metabolic syndrome, demanding routine dual screening.
New JAMA data reveals widespread daily sleep aid use among US adults, raising urgent questions about dependency, safety, and root causes.
New research reveals stress disrupts the brain's ability to connect memories, directly impairing insight and problem-solving capacity.
