Neuroscientists discover new link in sleep disruption and memory Penn In the News Newsweek Neuroscientists discover new link in sleep disruption and memory Research led by Nirinjini Naidoo of the Perelman School of Medicine suggests that a chronic lack of sleep can lead to affected memory molecules and poor performance when learning new tasks. Are some kids genetically predisposed to poor sleep? Study offers clues Penn In the News CNN Are some kids genetically predisposed to poor sleep? Study offers clues Amita Sehgal of the Perelman School of Medicine says that some people perceive insomnia even when there is not actually a lack of sleep in terms of quantity. The surprising thing that helps you cope with change Penn In the News CNN The surprising thing that helps you cope with change Joseph Kable of the School of Arts & Sciences says that uncertainty shakes the brain out of its complacency and makes it more attuned to new information. Brain signals can predict how often a news article is shared online Image: iStock/Vitalii Gulenok Brain signals can predict how often a news article is shared online A new study from the Communication Neuroscience Lab finds that, even across cultures, neural models can reliably predict whether an article is popular on Facebook.

Understanding the brain via a molecular map PIK Professor Michael Platt and collaborators have generated the first single-cell “atlas” of the primate brain to help explore links between molecules, cells, brain function, and disease.

How the hippocampus distinguishes true and false memories Image: iStock/metamorworks How the hippocampus distinguishes true and false memories Researchers in the School of Arts & Sciences have shown for the first time that electrical signals in the hippocampus differ immediately before recollection of true and false memories.
