How does the brain clean itself during sleep? A new ultrafast MRI method tracks cerebrospinal fluid flow without contrast ...

Adults with combined-type ADHD show distinct patterns of sleep-like slow-wave brain activity while fully awake, and those patterns track with attention failures and cognitive dysfunction. The finding ...

New research is shedding light on how sleep-like brain activity may contribute to attention difficulties in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), compared to neurotypical ...

Slow brain waves propagate in a coordinated way across connected areas, guided not only by anatomy but also by neuronal excitability. The discovery was made possible thanks to an advanced ...

Each morning, your brain embarks on a remarkable series of events: it transitions from being asleep, potentially in an alternate reality, to waking up. Within a short time, you regain waking ...

Why do memories falter with age? In a preprint posted on bioRxiv on May 22, scientists led by Omer Sharon and sleep researcher Matthew Walker at the University of California, Berkeley, suggested that ...

ADHD, which is already associated with a higher risk of sleep disorders and daytime sleepiness, is also linked to increased mind wandering and mind blanking. This paper, published in the Journal of ...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) might be driven by a brain that is literally falling asleep in small patches while the person remains awake ...
