New research reveals that sleep restores brain function through a specific hierarchical pattern, moving along a gradient from sensory to association areas. By observing 130 adults, scientists found that this recovery is most intense during the first hour of sleep and tracks with deep slow-wave activity.

New research reveals that social skills develop through a mix of neural maturation and the quality of the mother-child relationship. By observing brain patterns, scientists found that strong interpersonal bonds lead to neural synchronisation, which is crucial for understanding the minds of others.

Researchers have validated a computational approach that uses standard EEG data to estimate the brain's excitation-inhibition balance. By comparing the model against established stimulation techniques, the study confirms the method can accurately track these crucial neural dynamics over time.
