Talking through a difficult problem can help some people organize their thoughts. However, according to cognitive neuroscientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research, language itself is not necessary for logical thinking. In a study recently published in the journal PNAS, a team led by Evelina Fedorenko, associate professor of brain and cognitive sciences at […]Talking through a difficult problem can help some people organize their thoughts.

A Portable Ultrasound Patch Can Promote REM Sleep – Without Medication or Surgery
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a soft, wearable patch that can specifically influence REM sleep. The device, called NEUSLeeP, combines gentle, focused ultrasound stimulation with electrodes that simultaneously record the brain’s electrical activity. What makes it unique is that the patch is worn directly on the skin and is designed […]Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a soft, wearable patch that can specifically influence REM sleep.

Study: THC-Based Medication Helped More Than One in Three PTSD Patients Become Free of Nightmares
Nightmares can be one of the most distressing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—a condition that can develop after a person has experienced a disaster, a serious accident, violence, combat, or another severe trauma. While sleeping, people with PTSD often feel as though they are reliving the event in vivid detail. These recurring episodes can […]Nightmares can be one of the most distressing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—a condition that can develop after a person has experienced a disaster, a serious accident, violence, combat, or another severe trauma.

Sleeping in Hot Weather: 8 Tips for Cooler, More Restful Nights
When temperatures rise, sleep often suffers. Hot nights can make it harder to fall asleep, increase the number of times you wake up during the night, and leave you feeling less rested the next day. One reason for this is thermoregulation—the body’s ability to maintain its core temperature within a safe range. Sleep is closely […]When temperatures rise, sleep often suffers.

Breakthrough in Alzheimer’s: Scientists Restore Two Hours of Sleep Without Removing the Plaques in the Brain
Imagine a small fire breaking out in a corner of your kitchen. With the right fire extinguisher, you might be able to put it out quickly. Instead, the sprinkler system is triggered and floods the entire house, turning a localized problem into widespread damage. According to researchers, something similar could be happening in the brains […]Imagine a small fire breaking out in a corner of your kitchen.
