Researchers have found a way to better control the preclinical generation of key neurons that are damaged in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a new approach to a disease for which there is no cure and few effective treatments. Efficient Method: Stimulating Stem Cell Differentiation to Produce Neurons in the Midbrain Parkinson’s disease is the second most […]

Sleep Improves the Ability to Remember Complex Events
Sleep helps to consolidate our memory for complex associations, supporting our ability to complete memories of entire events. Researchers have known for some time that sleep consolidates our memories of facts and episodic events. However, previous research has mainly focused on simple associations, i.e. connections between elements, such as those we make when learning new […]
Sound Stimulation and Electrical Impulses During Sleep to Combat Cognitive Impairment and Strengthen Memory
Deep sleep is crucial for memory consolidation. Several sleep disturbances have been observed in people with mild cognitive impairment. Among the most pronounced changes is a reduction in the amount of time spent in the deepest phase of sleep. Research from Northwestern University suggests that gentle sound stimulation during deep sleep improves deep sleep in […]
Are Insomnia And Early Waking Associated With an Increased Risk of Anorexia?
New research suggests that the eating disorder anorexia nervosa is more likely to be associated with early risers, unlike many other disorders that tend to occur in the evening, such as depression, binge eating disorder and schizophrenia. The study, published in JAMA Network Open and led by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in collaboration […]
