The effects of caffeine on sleep and maturational markers in the rat.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Adolescence is a critical period for brain maturation during which a massive reorganization of cortical connectivity takes place. In humans, slow wave activity (

Are there effects of light exposure on daytime sleep for rotating shift nurses after night shift?: an EEG power analysis

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionNight-shift workers often face various health issues stemming from circadian rhythm shift and the consequent poor sleep quality. We aimed to study nurses working night shifts, evaluate the electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern of daytime sleep ...

An essential role for MEF2C in the cortical response to loss of sleep in mice

eLife, 2020
Neuronal activity and gene expression in response to the loss of sleep can provide a window into the enigma of sleep function. Sleep loss is associated with brain differential gene expression, an increase in pyramidal cell mEPSC frequency and amplitude ...

Local increase of sleep slow wave activity after three weeks of working memory training in children and adolescents

, 2015
STUDY OBJECTIVES Evidence is accumulating that electroencephalographic (EEG) sleep slow wave activity (SWA), the key characteristic of deep sleep, is regulated not only globally, but also locally.

Age-Related Decline in Controlled Retrieval: The Role of the PFC and Sleep

Neural Plasticity, 2012
Age-related cognitive impairments often include difficulty retrieving memories, particularly those that rely on executive control. In this paper we discuss the influence of the prefrontal cortex on memory retrieval, and the specific memory processes ...

Processing of auditory word pairs during slow-wave sleep: a closed-loop approach [PDF]

, 2019
Every day we experience episodes, which we encode effortlessly on the fly by forming what, where and when associations. A recently published experiment of our research group on vocabulary learning during deep sleep suggests that hippocampus-mediated ...

Effect of Conditioned Stimulus Exposure during Slow Wave Sleep on Fear Memory Extinction in Humans

, 2015
Study Objectives: Repeated exposure to a neutral conditioned stimulus (CS) in the absence of a noxious unconditioned stimulus (US) elicits fear memory extinction.

Sleep spindle and slow wave frequency reflect motor skill performance in primary school-age children

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Background and Aim. The role of sleep in the enhancement of motor skills has been been studied extensively in adults. We aimed to determine involvement of sleep and characteristics of spindles and slow waves in a motor skill in children. Hypothesis.
