Circadian rhythms are governed by a master clock, a group of neurons called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, located in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus. This master clock translates cues ...

By uncovering how these histone modifications influence the brain, the team has identified a novel mechanism for controlling ...

This brain region is responsible for regulating and synchronizing rhythms not only in the brain but also governs other clocks in tissues throughout the body. It is important that our bodily ...

Sleep spindles—brief bursts of brain activity crucial for memory and sleep stability—are guided primarily by short-term ...

A study by Mount Sinai and Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers uncovers how neurotransmitters regulate brain gene expression ...

This is the first time breathing rhythms during sleep have been linked to these hippocampal brain waves—called slow waves, spindles and ripples—in humans. Scientists knew these waves were ...

Blood vessels in the brain rhythmically constrict and dilate to drive waves of cleansing fluid through the organ.

The role of the circadian rhythm in glioblastoma treatment Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults, with limited survival outcomes despite extensive ...

This is the first time breathing rhythms during sleep have been linked to these hippocampal brain waves - called slow waves, spindles and ripples - in humans. Scientists knew these waves were ...

By uncovering how these histone modifications influence the brain, the team has identified a novel mechanism for controlling circadian gene expression and behavioral rhythms. The team's findings ...

Just as a conductor coordinates different instruments in an orchestra to produce a symphony, breathing coordinates hippocampal brain waves to strengthen memory while we sleep, reports a new study.
