Bi-Temporal Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation during Slow-Wave Sleep Boosts Slow-Wave Density but Not Memory Consolidation [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2021 Slow-wave sleep (SWS) has been shown to promote long-term consolidation of episodic memories in hippocampo–neocortical networks. Previous research has aimed to modulate cortical sleep slow-waves and spindles to facilitate episodic memory consolidation ...

Episodic long-term memory formation during slow-wave sleep [PDF]
eLifeWe are unresponsive during slow-wave sleep but continue monitoring external events for survival. Our brain wakens us when danger is imminent. If events are non-threatening, our brain might store them for later consideration to improve decision-making. To

Determination of the interaction impedance of helix slow-wave structures. [PDF]
, 2000 The computer simulation of helix travelling-wave tubes requires accurate information about the phase velocity, interaction impedance and attenuation of the helix slow wave structure at each frequency.

Modulating overnight memory consolidation by acoustic stimulation during slow wave sleep – a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2021 Study objectives: The low-frequency high-amplitude oscillations of slow wave sleep are considered to promote the consolidation of episodic memory. Previous research suggests that sleep slow waves can be entrained and enhanced by presenting short acoustic

A continuum model for the dynamics of the phase transition from slow-wave sleep to REM sleep [PDF]
, 2010 Previous studies have shown that activated cortical states (awake and rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep), are associated with increased cholinergic input into the cerebral cortex.

Decoupling of sleep-dependent cortical and hippocampal interactions in a neurodevelopmental model of schizophrenia [PDF]
, 2012 Rhythmic neural network activity patterns are defining features of sleep, but interdependencies between limbic and cortical oscillations at different frequencies and their functional roles have not been fully resolved.

Sleep slow-wave homeostasis and cognitive functioning in children with electrical status epilepticus in sleep [PDF]
, 2020 Study objectives: Encephalopathy with electrical status epilepticus in sleep (ESES) is characterized by non-rapid eye movement (non-REM)-sleep-induced epileptiform activity and acquired cognitive deficits.

Circadian and homeostatic modulation of sleep spindles in the human electroencephalogram [PDF]
, 2004 Sleep spindles are transient EEG oscillations of about 12-16 Hz. Together with slow waves, they hallmark the human non-REM sleep EEG. Sleep spindles originate in the thalamus and are suggested to have a sleep protective function by reducing sensory ...

Effects of social stimuli on sleep in mice: non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep is promoted by aggressive interaction but not by sexual interaction [PDF]
, 2001 Sleep is generally considered to be a process of recovery from prior wakefulness. In addition to being affected by the duration of the waking period, sleep architecture and sleep EEG also depend on the quality of wakefulness.

Neuronal avalanches differ from wakefulness to deep sleep - evidence from intracranial depth recordings in humans [PDF]
, 2013 Neuronal activity differs between wakefulness and sleep states. In contrast, an attractor state, called self-organized critical (SOC), was proposed to govern brain dynamics because it allows for optimal information coding.
