New insights into sleep uncover key mechanisms related to cognitive function
While it's well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly those related to nonrapid eye movement sleep, remain largely unexplored. A new study by a team of researchers at Rice and Houston Methodist’s Center for Neural Systems Restoration and Weill Cornell Medical College, coordinated by Rice's Valentin Dragoi, has nonetheless uncovered a key mechanism by which sleep enhances neuronal and behavioral performance, potentially changing our fundamental understanding of how sleep boosts brainpower.
