Losing sleep is bad for individuals. Communities, too?

Large groups of people often lose sleep because of big events like a record 18-inning World Series game or a contested election night, or sudden crises like a flood, pandemic or war. In a new paper published in Clocks & Sleep, Harvard sleep researchers argue that while the mental

How random sounds played while sleeping impair memory formation

For several years now, sleep research has been focusing intensively on the question of whether targeted auditory stimulation during sleep can improve the consolidation of new memories. A research team in Freiburg led by the neuropsychologists Prof. Dr. Monika Schönauer and Dr. No

Researchers discover new form of hereditary prostate cancer

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a new form of hereditary prostate cancer that, while rare, can cause aggressive disease at a young age. The discovery paves the way for genetic testing programs that could help identify at-risk families and support

Links between genetics and cognition change across childhood

Rare DNA changes are most strongly linked to cognition in early childhood, but the link fades as children age, while common DNA changes show stronger links later in childhood, a new study finds. The research was reported July 10 in Nature Human Behaviour by researchers at the Wel

This unusual epigenetic modifier promotes certain cancers but suppresses others

The epigenetic modifier MLL4 has an unassuming name—the 4, for instance, indicates it's just one in a family of such modifiers. But MLL4 is quite special: In a specific type of leukemia, it drives disease progression, while in solid tumors, it acts as a suppressor.

The same sounds are mapped similarly in the human and mouse brain, study finds

While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with their sight, hearing, touch and other senses. Neuroscience research suggests that the brain does not individually process every single sensory experience, but

Emergency doctors are stressed out—and patient irritation plays a significant role

HBO's emergency-department drama "The Pitt" has become a smash hit in large part because it shows the deeply human toll that emergency medicine exacts on those who practice it. While researchers have long known that real-life ER doctors are affected by many of the stresses that "

New insights into neuron–microglia interactions during brain aging

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified small nuclear fragments known as micronuclei while studying neurons in aged mice. They demonstrated that microglia—the brain's resident immune cells—take up these micronuclei, leading to changes in microglial morphology and

Microglia mechanism reveals why brain's stroke repair window closes

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide and often results in impairments in movement, speech and cognition. While rehabilitation helps patients regain some lost functions, the brain's natural ability to repair itself often fades within a few months a
