Showing results for "Sleep Disorders" in Neuroscience & Neuropsychology

Leading sleep researcher Rosalind Cartwright brings together decades of work on sleep, dreaming, and sleep disorders to propose a new theory of how the mind works continuously. Drawing on her own research and that of others, Cartwright describes how conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings move forward - from waking, into sleep and dreaming, to the next waking day. One main purpose of sleep is to regulate disturbing emotions. Not everyone does this successfully every night.

Muchos científicos han afirmado que conocemos mejor el universo exterior que el que tenemos dentro de nuestra cabeza. La doctora en neurociencia Estefanía Estévez, reconocida divulgadora y conferenciante, nos lleva de viaje a los secretos de nuestro cerebro durante el descanso. Narrada por esta joven investigadora, comprender cómo opera el dispositivo más sofisticado del universo nos ayudará a cuidarlo mejor de modo que trabaje a nuestro favor.

The reason we need sleep has long mystified scientists, but it’s crystal clear that we do need it. In fact, the more we learn about what happens while we snooze, the more we discover new benefits for multiple processes including hormone balance, immune function, emotional health, learning, and memory. Studies show that even one night of disturbed rest leads to measurable impairments, and for this mini-collection, we’ve gathered the most recent research on the mechanisms of sleep.
