UCLA is rated the #1 Public University in the country.
Image of the Month
Image: Similarity matrix showing rhythmic brain activity from the human brain during a brief window of slow-wave sleep. Bright clusters along the diagonal show repeating neural activity patterns, reflecting
stable, predictable dynamics. This rhythmic activity is a hallmark of deep sleep, known for its essential role in restorative brain processes.
