Rare cortical neurons can synchronize brain activity and promote sleep in mice
What makes the brain fall asleep? For nearly a century, scientists have looked to structures deep within the brain for the answer. In the traditional view, these regions control when we sleep and wake, while the cerebral cortex—the part of the brain involved in perception, thought and memory—is larg
