Scientists reveal how sleep, especially naps, boosts motor learning after TBI, offering new insights into brain activity and rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery outcomes. New research ...

It’s the middle of the night. Your body is still, your breathing slow. While you dream of forgotten high school exams and flying through cityscapes, something remarkable is happening in your brain.

Memory formation, storage, and retrieval are fundamental processes that define who we are and how we interact with the world. At the cellular level, these processes rely on specialized neurons called ...

One of sleep’s key functions is to stabilize and integrate new memories into our brain’s long-term memory systems, a process known as "consolidation." This idea is now widely accepted, though it ...

Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural ...

Functional MRI data shows reduced activation in key brain regions post-nap in TBI patients, indicating enhanced motor learning, according to lead author Anthony H. Lequerica, PhD, senior research ...
