During Sleep, Brain Regions Synchronize to Create Motor Memory
While we sleep, our brains process our daily actions to create motor memory, which makes physical acts such as throwing a basketball subconscious.

In a Q&A, UCSF’s Jason Nagata answers questions about the links between screen time and illnesses like OCD for children and teens.
For preteens, the odds of developing OCD over a two-year period increases for every hour they play video games or watch videos.
Stress during pregnancy can impact children’s cell aging, and race is an important factor.
Promises from companies leap ahead of medical science in promoting the use of smartwatches to screen for heart rhythm disorders says UCSF’s Gregory Marcus.
A low-cost, prenatal intervention benefits mothers’ mental health up to eight years later, a new UCSF study finds.
UCSF Experts Present Research at the Annual Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) Conference in San Francisco.
Risk of death or hospitalization from COVID-19 were found to be greater for patients with PTSD.
The brains of people with Down syndrome develop the same neurodegenerative tangles and plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease and frequently demonstrate signs of the neurodegenerative disorder in their forties or fifties. A new study shows that these tangles and plaques are driven by the same amyloid beta (Aß) and tau prions as Alzheimer’s disease.
Brain implants for speech, neurological effects of COVID-19, and motor recovery after stroke are among the topics that researchers from UCSF will be presenting at this year’s annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
A $147 million grant will expand diversity among Alzheimer’s disease research participants, and involve partners from UCSF, the San Francisco VA Medical Center, and the Northern California Institute for Research and Education.
A third of American women of reproductive age now face excessive travel times to obtain an abortion, according to a new geospatial analysis by researchers in San Francisco and Boston that is one of the first to model the effects of the Supreme Court’s recent Dobbs v. Jackson decision.
A small molecule called ISRIB that was identified at UCSF can reverse the neuronal and cognitive effects of concussion in mice weeks after an injury occurred, new research found.
Not all senescent cells are harmful “zombies” that should be wiped out to prevent age-related disease. New research from UCSF found that some of them are embedded in young, healthy tissues and promote normal repair from damage.
A new study points to another persistent effect of COVID-19, identified months after infection: reduced exercise capacity.
After a decade of work, scientists at UCSF’s Neuroscape Center have developed a suite of video game interventions that improve key aspects of cognition in aging adults.
A new study shows that fewer Black, Hispanic and Asian patients would qualify for these treatments that may slow Alzheimer’s progression, since cognitive impairment in these groups is more likely to be caused by other forms of dementia that may be unrelated to amyloid plaques.
A newly identified set of molecules alleviated pain in mice while avoiding the sedating affect that limits the use of opiates, according to a new study led by researchers at UC San Francisco.
UCSF has revealed how blood vessel cells develop in the prenatal human brain, paving the way to fully understand the role of these cells in healthy brain development and disease.
