A common sleep aid restores healthier sleep patterns and protects mice from the brain damage seen in neurodegenerative ...

Mouse models treated with the sleep aid lemborexant had less brain damage compared to controls and mice that received a ...

Danish scientists found that a molecule called norepinephrine plays a key role in the brain's cleaning in mice. During deep sleep, the brainstem releases tiny waves of norepinephrine about once ...

The researchers went on to genetically engineer the DEC2 mutation into mice, showing that the animals need less sleep than their littermates. And they found that one of the gene’s jobs is to ...

Their study in mice showed how deep sleep may wash away waste buildup in the brain during waking hours, an essential process for maintaining brain health. The results for the first time describe ...

Is all sleep created equal? The researchers wanted to find out. To find clues, Nedergaard and her team looked into what happens in mice when their brains sleep, as SWNS reported of the study.

“The whole housekeeping function of sleep has been ignored for many, many years,” she says. Mice on zolpidem fell asleep faster and slept deeper than naturally sleeping mice, says ...

Li Zhang has anesthetized a lot of mice in his research career. Several years ago, the University of Southern California neuroscientist began noticing that sometimes, when he placed an ...

A recent study by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder has found significant differences in sleep behavior between male and female mice. Male mice slept longer and experienced more ...
