Did you know that during sleep, our brains go into overdrive to clear out damaging waste? 😴💭 Check out this fascinating study suggesting that a neural process helps keep our brains healthy while we catch some Z's. Sweet dreams and a cleaner brain await! #BrainHealth #SleepScience 🧠💤 Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q02rZhyC0

Redefining Consciousness: Scientists Discover That Small Regions of the Brain Can Take Micro-Naps While the Rest of the Brain Is Awake Link: https://lnkd.in/dpeefPwz For the first time, scientists have found that sleep can be detected by patterns of neuronal activity just milliseconds long, 1000 times shorter than a second, revealing a new way to study and understand the basic brain wave patterns that govern consciousness. They also show that small regions of the brain can momentarily “flicker” awake while the rest of the brain remains asleep, and vice versa from wake to sleep. #sleep #sleephealth #osa #sleepapnea #health #healthcare #cpap #research #sleep2024 #sleeptrends

Your brain might be trying to predict the future when you sleep! 🌜 A new study on sleep and learning reveals a fascinating development about the brain’s activity at rest. Researchers found that some neurons in the brain might be firing off during sleep in a manner that suggests the brain could be attempting to forecast what lies ahead. 🧠💭 Discover more about this intriguing study here: https://flip.it/Dprqn_ #BrainActivity #SleepStudy #ScienceResearch

🛌💡 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲: 𝐀 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐮𝐨! 🧠✨ Did you know skimping on sleep can mess with your memory? 🥴 Nature reveals that sleep-deprived rats had jumbled brain signals in the hippocampus, the memory HQ. Even after catching some Z's, their brains didn't fully bounce back! 😮🔄 So, next time you think about pulling an all-nighter, remember: your brain needs quality sleep to keep those memories sharp! 🌙🛏️ Discover more about this eye-opening research: https://lnkd.in/egGKr3ZV #SleepScience #Memory #BrainPower #SleepWell #StaySharp 😴📚🧬

Interesting study that shows that the brain connections made during the day are pruned during first half of the sleep in a zebrafish. It would be interesting to find out the criteria for pruning and how those are set. It is like filtering noise without diluting the signal. https://lnkd.in/grTjMPzr

Sleep resets brain connections During sleep, the brain weakens the new connections between neurons that had been forged while awake – but only during the first half of a night’s sleep, according to a new study in fish. The researchers say their findings, published in Nature, provide insight into the role of sleep, but still leave an open question around what function the latter half of a night’s sleep serves. The researchers say the study supports the Synaptic Homeostasis Hypothesis, a key theory on the purpose of sleep which proposes that sleeping acts as a reset for the brain. Lead author said: “When we are awake, the connections between brain cells get stronger and more complex. If this activity were to continue unabated, it would be energetically unsustainable. Too many active connections between brain cells could prevent new connections from being made the following day. #ScienceMission #ScienceNewsHighlights https://lnkd.in/gm_nmQum

This is very interesting for me because when I take #Rilax, I get satisfying deep sleep in the first 1.5 hrs. Now, I know it helps with resting the neurons and with ability to learn better the next day. Thumbs up. #deepsleep #sleephealth https://lnkd.in/gXTfXPpN

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲? 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. It’s no hidden health secret that sleep is really good for us. It helps our immune systems and supports almost every organ system in the body. We’ve also known for almost two decades that the slow, synchronous electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep supports memory formation. However, we did not know exactly how the brain does this until now. These slow waves make the neocortex–where long-term memory is stored in the brain–particularly receptive to new information. The findings are detailed in a study published December 12 in the journal 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. Continue Reading Here: https://lnkd.in/gzSijTrm 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦: 𝘕𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘹.
