Sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation. While the interaction between sleep oscillations and autonomic activity likely influences this process,

Why some experiences are retained while others fade remains a central question in memory research. This study shows that theta-band activity during learning marks memories for sleep-dependent consolid...

Emerging evidence suggests that cortical activity is organized in traveling waves that coordinate neural activity across space and time. How anesthesia alters these waves remains underexplored. We rec...

Whole-brain activity mapping, targeted cell manipulations and electrophysiology in mice identify wake-activated neuronal populations that are crucial for sleep drive and can persistently red...

Hippocampal ripples are transient, high-frequency oscillations linked to memory replay and consolidation. Ripples are well-characterized in rodents to occur during periods of behavioral inactivity (i....

Using a large dataset of intracranial recordings in 106 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, we show that key morphological features of SWs change across

Using simultaneous EEG-fMRI, we identify two types of NREM slow waves with distinct thalamic profiles. Large, synchronized waves involve early thalamic activation and arousal markers, whereas smaller ...

The importance of sleep as a key component of cardiovascular health has been increasingly recognized. Our previous research demonstrated that auditory-enhanced slow waves increase cardiac function, b...

Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 27 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02446-zChowdhury et al. report the discovery of a 19–45-Hz thalamic oscillation that is present during human wakefulness and REM sleep, but not NREM sleep.

A cross-organ, multi-omics U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and biological ageing clocks highlights the potential of sleep optimization to promote healthy ageing, lower disease risk and ex...

The anterior cingulate cortex modulates pupil-linked arousal in real time.

Individual traits and experiences jointly shape dream content. By analyzing the semantic structure of thousands of reports, we reveal systematic patterns showing how dreams reflect personality, sleep ...

Abstract. Stroboscopic light stimulation (SLS) on closed eyes typically induces simple visual hallucinations, characterized by vivid, geometric, and colour

Disorders of arousal (DOA), including sleepwalking, sleep terrors, and confusional arousals, are characterized by complex behaviors emerging from non-…

Synchronization of sharp-wave ripples across the dorsoventral hippocampus during sleep supports coordinated reactivation that represents negative experiences more faithfully than positive ones.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterised by behavioural variability and heightened inattention associated with increased mind wandering (MW) and mind blanking (MB). Individuals...

Could sleep engineering be developed to provide a drug-free, non-invasive avenue to treat depression and post-traumatic stress disorder? This Perspective proposes using machine learning with EEG…
