Inducing NREM-Like Neuronal Patterns Mimics Sleep Benefits
June 11, 2026
Scientists have “faked” sleep in mice by artificially creating the on/off neuronal firing pattern similar to that seen in non-REM sleep. This produced sleep-like effects, including improved learning memory [1].
Daytime Napping and Mortality Association in Older Adults
