New research is shedding light on how sleep-like brain activity may contribute to attention difficulties in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), compared to neurotypical ...

It could help to explain differences in sustained attention.

Adults with combined-type ADHD show distinct patterns of sleep-like slow-wave brain activity while fully awake, and those patterns track with attention failures and cognitive dysfunction. The finding ...

Adults with ADHD experience more frequent "sleep-like" brain activity while awake, driving lapses in attention and task errors.

Researchers have long wished to understand the connection between sleep and memory, especially how the brain encodes long-term memories during slow-wave sleep (while discarding others), or the deep ...

Your brain doesn’t rest during sleep - and scientists say those hidden signals may reveal dementia risk years before symptoms begin.
