Scientists at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) have developed mouse models that survive premature death and enable pre-clinical ...

Although we know sleep is essential to our physical and mental well-being, it remains an incredibly enigmatic behavior, scientifically speaking.

Initially, the researchers injected the mice with tracers into eleven regions of their brains that are known to induce sleep. These tracers travelled from the neurons receiving signals to their source ...

Sleep is a natural phenomenon controlled by the central nervous system. The sleep-wake pattern, which functions as an essential indicator of neurophysiological organization in the neonatal period, has ...

A newly identified brain circuit in mice may explain why we sleep longer and deeper after being sleep deprived – and lead to ...

In another recent study, the researchers showed that lack of sleep affects systems in the brain that slow down the activation of nerve cells in those who have migraines.

Summary: New research reveals that sleep deprivation alters how the brain processes pain in people with migraines. Using EEG and pain stimulation, scientists found that migraine sufferers’ brains ...

Human cells grown in mice in ‘crazy’ experiment, lab-grown organs one step closer It could offer a window to study human tissue development like never before. Updated: Jun 18, 2025 08:17 AM EST ...

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recognizes five sleep/wake states (Wake, N1, N2, N3, REM), yet this classification schema provides only a high-level summary of sleep and likely overlooks ...

A 2023 study found that shorter sleep duration causes reduced brain cortical thickness. Sleep disorders increase the risk of Alzheimer’s, stroke, and cognitive decline. Chronic sleep deprivation ...
