Attentional failures after sleep deprivation are locked to joint neurovascular, pupil and cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, October 29, 2025 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 29 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41593-025-02098-8Yang et al. show that moments of failed attention we experience after sleep deprivation reflect brief ‘sleep-like’ episodes in the brain, corresponding to a brain- and body-wide...

Falling asleep follows a predictable bifurcation dynamic

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Tuesday, October 28, 2025 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 28 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41593-025-02091-1Li et al. propose a conceptual framework to study the phenomenon of falling asleep based on electroencephalogram data. They show that a tipping point marks the brain’s nonlinear...
