Adults with combined-type ADHD show distinct patterns of sleep-like slow-wave brain activity while fully awake, and those patterns track with attention failures and cognitive dysfunction. The finding ...

Adults with ADHD experience more frequent "sleep-like" brain activity while awake, driving lapses in attention and task errors.

It could help to explain differences in sustained attention.

Researchers have long wished to understand the connection between sleep and memory, especially how the brain encodes long-term memories during slow-wave sleep (while discarding others), or the deep ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have found that machine-learning analysis of brain waves recorded during sleep can identify women at risk of cognitive decline up to five ...

As humans grow older, their emotional stability and sleep patterns can change significantly. For instance, some past studies have found that many older adults find it harder to manage negative ...

A new pooled analysis led by UCSF researchers suggests that how your brain looks during sleep, its so‑called brain age, may help predict who goes on to develop dementia. In roughly 7,100 U.S. adults ...
