Alex C. Bender's research focuses on brain activity during sleep and its relationship to memory and thinking problems, particularly in Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. Work includes studying EEG (electrical brain signal) patterns, network 'hyperexcitability' (overactive brain circuits), and how sleep disruptions relate to cognitive decline. Some earlier work also examined ion channel (Nav1.1) effects on brain cell firing patterns and spatial memory in animal models.

Publication output has been modest but has increased somewhat in recent years, rising from occasional single papers per year earlier in the decade to multiple papers annually since 2023.
