Frontal cortical tau pathology in aging humans is associated with reduced slow-wave travel during sleep. This reduced propagation is associated with poorer overnight memory retention, supporting a lin...

Parents want accountability after study went disastrously wrong, Science and Retraction Watch investigation reveals

Communications Engineering, Published online: 24 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s44172-026-00611-wLeonhard Schreiner and colleagues investigate how EEG electrode density shapes visual decoding performance, showing that denser arrays yield higher accuracy. Their findings delineate the practical limits of non-invasive EEG and offer guidance for selecting electrode count and spatial configuration

A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Understanding how the brain represents experienced time and how representations of space and time are integrated to form episodic memories has been a goal of much neuroscientific research. In this Per...

Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep degrades with age, and more severely in Alzheimer's disease (AD). REM sleep comprises about twenty percent of adult sleep, alternates between phasic and tonic periods, a...

Science is characterized by collaboration and cooperation, but also by uncertainty, competition, and inequality. While there has always been some c...

Anticipatory eye movements during repeated movie viewing reveal when and what is remembered. Gaze patterns correlate with explicit reports, offering a method to detect memory for events without verbal...

How does cerebral blood perfusion map onto micro-, meso- and macro-scale brain structure? Using arterial spin labeling data from the Human Connectome Project, this study provides a detailed characteri...

Isparta et al. find that two-thirds of cats prefer to sleep on their left side, indicating asymmetry at the population level. Because the right hemisphere is specialized for threat processing, this as...

Background Alpha-synuclein-related neurodegeneration affects sleep figures, whether in the prodromal (rapid eye movement [REM] sleep behavior disorder, iRBD) or established (Parkinson's disease [PD]...

An established theory for how good sleep reduces a person’s risk of neurodegenerative disease has been called into question. The ensuing argument could have enormous consequences for the treatment of ...

Neural mechanisms underlying memory acquisition and encoding are not fully understood. Here authors show that during sleep, besides the replay of past memory, coactivity of a new set of cells arises (...
