In a Historical Perspective, Cornelia Bargmann and Eve Marder discuss what has been learned from invertebrate circuits whose connectivity patterns are ...
Our circadian rhythms and sleep patterns are critical to our ability to focus during the day because the brain needs sufficient sleep to function. Sleep deprivation impacts the part of the brain that enables problem-solving, reasoning, planning, and performing higher cognitive tasks—and this ...
