Brain & Mind
Neuroscience, psychology and behaviour: memory, sleep, habits and the brain, from lab findings to everyday life.
This week
- NEURO SleepDo Habitual Naps Mean a Bigger Brain?A genetic study of UK Biobank volunteers asks whether a napping habit actually changes the brain. The answer is a small yes for brain size, and a no for memory.
