The discovery paves the way for new treatments tackling sleep disorders and memory consolidation.
Neuroscientists have discovered a surprising new source of deep-sleep brain waves, shaking up our understanding of the architecture of sleep and how we treat sleep disorders.Our sleep is divided into four main stages, which are determined by the activity of our brain waves. The first stage, N1, is when we first start to fall asleep. At this point, our bodies and brain activities start to slow down.
'Our research sheds light on a previously unrecognized aspect of deep sleep brain activity,' lead author Mengke Wang, former UC Irvine undergraduate student in biomedical engineering who is now a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, said in a statement.
