The search for the mechanisms cortical regulation of sleep continues. Latest collaborative work suggests that part of the answer lies in the cortex.
By switching cortical neurons on and off, we could change how much sleep animals got — and even the quality of that sleep. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Why wait until the damage is done?
Our new paper highlights how many brain and mental health disorders begin before birth — yet most funding still targets late-life neurodegeneration.
It’s time to invest in prevention.
