Researchers show sleep protects neuronal mitochondria by transferring oxidative lipid damage to glial and blood cells. The findings link sleep to metabolism, autophagy, and lipid regulation, offering ...
New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.
When HHMI Investigator Amita Sehgal started studying sleep 25 years ago, the topic elicited a yawn from most biologists. "In the year 2000, if I had suggested to my department that we hire people ...
Researchers build soft 3D bioelectronic mesh with 240 electrodes that records from 91% of lab-grown brain organoid surface.
Scientists have built a soft, three-dimensional electronic device that can wrap around lab-grown human ...
A growing body of neuroscience research is converging on a counterintuitive idea: the disorderly brain activity triggered by LSD might actually work against the hyper-synchronized neural firing that ...
A study published in Cell Stem Cell on February 5, 2026, traces a direct signaling chain from sleep-deprived brains to damaged intestinal tissue in mice, identifying the vagus nerve as the critical ...
An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...
