Snoozing dragons stir up ancient evidence of sleep’s dual nature
Deep-sleep cycling between brain waves of higher and lower amplitude dates far back on the evolutionary tree, according to a new comparative study of mammals and reptiles.

Remembering the life of neuropharmacologist Floyd Bloom
The co-author of the classic textbook “The Biochemical Basis of Neuropharmacology” and pioneer in studying the roles of neurotransmitters in the brain died on 8 January at 88 years old.

Fleeting sleep interruptions may help brain reset
Brief, seconds-long microarousals during deep sleep “ride on the wave” of locus coeruleus activity in mice and correlate with periods of waste clearing and memory consolidation, new research suggests.

Mouse housing temperatures can cook experimental outcomes
Neuroscientists need to take note of how thermoregulatory processes influence the brain and behavior—for the sake of reproducibility and animal welfare.

Commentary: Citation graphs may underestimate neuroscience’s influence on AI
An alternative, albeit less quantitative, way to trace this history is through the people who carried ideas between the fields.

Examining the bridge between neuroscience and AI
A citation analysis reveals that the connection between the two fields is real and gaining momentum. But it’s also narrow and tool-heavy; we need to find ways to widen it.
