Sleep Improves the Ability to Remember Complex 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 […]

People with Alzheimer’s begin to experience cognitive symptoms, such as memory loss, around the time tau involvement is detectable. The brain […]
