Dec 06, 2006 (New Scientist - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Researchers at Princeton University studied the effect of sleep deprivation on rats. They found that stress hormones built up in the hippocampus, which impeded the growth of the cells responsible for new memories. The finding may explain why sleep deprivation leads to absent-mindedness in humans. It is in keeping with earlier research indicating that sleep deprivation reduces people's ability to remember how to perform newly-learned tasks. University of Surrey's Derk-Jan Dijk says the new finding highlights the importance of sleeping in maintaining proper hormonal conditions.
