It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. Why that is, was previously unknown. Now ...

and found that the norepinephrine waves during sleep decreased by 50 percent and fluid transport into the brain decreased by around 30 percent in zolpidem-treated mice. These results suggest that ...

This is the first time breathing rhythms during sleep have been linked to these hippocampal brain waves — called slow waves, spindles and ripples — in humans. Scientists knew these waves were linked ...

Getting enough sleep is crucial for overall health, particularly brain health. For nearly 20 years, it has been known that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep help ...

During a good night’s sleep, the brain gets busy cleaning itself, flushing out waste products that have built up during the day. A study in mice shows how a molecule called noradrenaline ...

Why Deep Sleep Is Helpful for Memory Dec. 12, 2024 — It has been known for nearly 20 years that slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories.

The team focused on the relationship between norepinephrine and blood flow during deep sleep. They found that norepinephrine waves correlate to variations in brain blood volume — suggesting that ...

breathing coordinates hippocampal brain waves to strengthen memory while we sleep, reports a new study. This is the first time breathing rhythms during ... Sleep Apnea Contributes to Dementia in ...

The brain moves information from the hippocampus ... or acoustic signals as a way to influence slow waves during sleep. “Right now, though, these stimulation approaches are being optimized ...
