Could subtle changes during sleep reveal a susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease, even years before memory problems become noticeable? Researchers at the University of Liège (ULiège), with support from the “Stop Alzheimer’s Foundation,” are investigating whether the sleeping brain might provide early clues. Scientists at the University of Liège (GIGA Neurosciences) examined the sleep patterns of […]
A new analysis of the biological aging process throughout the human body suggests that both too little and too much sleep are associated with accelerated aging of the brain, heart, lungs, immune system, and other organs. These sleep patterns have also been linked to a variety of diseases. “Previous studies have shown that sleep is […]
New research suggests that not only the quality of our diet, but possibly also the regularity of our meals, is linked to our mental health. According to the findings, people who eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at particularly irregular times are more likely to report symptoms of depression than those with a consistent eating schedule.

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 […]
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 […]
