Brain cartilage morphs during sleep, aids memory consolidation

Cartilage in the brain morphs while we sleep – possibly explaining why a good snooze can help consolidate memories, a new study suggests.  The neurons in our brains that exchange information and help us learn have a cartilage-like sheath around them, known as a perineuronal net (PNN). US researchers believe that sleeping loosens this net enough … Read more
