Scientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health have identified a protein in the visual system of mice that appears to be critical for stabilizing the body’s circadian rhythms by buffering the brain’s response to light. The discovery, published in the journal PLoS Biology, could help to better treat […]
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 […]
How Important is Light Color With Regard to Sleep and the Internal Clock?
It is believed that light in the evening is bad for sleep. But does the color of the light also play a role? Researchers from the University of Basel and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) compared the influence of different colors of light on the human body. The experts’ results contradict the results of […]
How Breathing Affects Sleep
Researchers from LMU, the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the University of Oxford have investigated how sleep affects memory. They found a connection between breathing and the emergence of certain brain activity patterns during sleep that are associated with the reactivation of memory content. The data points to possible consequences of unhealthy breathing […]
How Stress Activates The Neurons That Affect Sleep
New research shows that neurons in the preoptic hypothalamus – the region of the brain that regulates sleep and body temperature – are rhythmically activated during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. According to a study published in Current Biology from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, stress activates these brain cells uncontrollably, […]
