Georgia Tech researchers have developed a soft, wireless wearable that uses near-infrared spectroscopy to monitor glymphatic clearance dynamics in a natural home environment. This noninvasive technology offers a cost-effective alternative to clinical MRI and polysomnography for tracking physiological changes linked to brain health during sleep.
A personal story explores why women with cardiovascular disease deserve earlier conversations about sleep-disordered breathing.
Samples from deceased brain donors reveal specific T-cells that can target orexin/hypocretin-expressing cells.
A new study reveals that brief bursts of sleep-like brain activity during wakefulness may explain attention lapses in adults with ADHD, opening doors for potential sleep-targeted treatments.
