There's no doubt sleep is good for the brain. It allows different parts to regenerate and helps memories stabilize. When we don't get enough sleep, this can increase stress levels and exacerbate mental health issues ..read more

The timing of our brain waves shapes how we perceive our environment. We are more likely to perceive events when their timing coincides with the timing of relevant brain waves. Lead scientist Sanne ten Oever and her co-authors set out to determine whether neural timing also shapes speech perception. Is the probability of speech sounds or words encoded in our brain waves and is this information used to recognize words ..read more

For animals such as primates, the act of gazing plays a key role in social interaction, used to both send and gather information. In a new study, Yale scientists uncover two brain regions that contribute to this type of social attention ..read more

In a new study, Yale researchers describe how a novel chemical compound attacks drug-resistant brain tumors without harming healthy surrounding tissue ..read more
