When the brain receives conflicting visual information, it does not simply stall; it actively resolves the discord to present a single, coherent picture. Recent research reveals a rapid “consensus building”...

Graph showing inverse relationship between REM sleep duration and incidence of dementia, heart failure, and Parkinson's disease

More REM sleep linked to lower risk of 83 diseases

More than 95,000 participants were tracked in a recent longitudinal study linking sleep architecture to disease risk, a scale that gives statistical weight to any observed associations. The analysis zeroes...
