Neuroscientist Robbert Havekes, PhD, found a way to make memories accessible again days later in sleep-deprived mice.

University of Groningen neuroscientist Robbert Havekes discovered that what you learn while being sleep deprived is not necessarily lost, it is just difficult to recall.

A name on the tip of your tongue.

Roflumilast, a drug commonly prescribed for the treatment of COPD and asthma helps retrieve learning memories following a period of sleep deprivation in mice.

The scientists behind the new study suggest that while information is being stored in the brain during sleep deprivation, certain stimulation is required to retrieve that data thereafter.

Dutch researchers, using optogenetic approaches and an asthma drug, discovered that memory loss from sleep deprivation can be retrieved.
