The Alzheimer’s Pathways Sleep Study (ALPS): an experimental randomized controlled trial to improve cognition and Alzheimer’s pathophysiology through slow-wave sleep [PDF]

Trials
Background Slow-wave activity (0.5–4 Hz electroencephalographic activity) during non-rapid eye movement sleep is consistently associated with better cognitive performance in older adults.

From macro to micro: slow-wave sleep and its pivotal health implications [PDF]

Frontiers in Sleep
Research on slow-wave sleep (SWS) began almost a century ago, not long after the discovery of electroencephalography. From maintaining homeostasis to memory function, the pivotal role of SWS in health has been established.

A polysomnographic study of slow-wave sleep loss in elderly patients with epilepsy [PDF]

Heliyon
Objective: The primary objective is to explore what causes slow-wave sleep loss in elderly patients with epilepsy. The secondary objective is to identify the PSG characteristics in elderly patients with epilepsy.

Binaural beats at 0.25 Hz shorten the latency to slow-wave sleep during daytime naps [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Binaural beats can entrain neural oscillations and modulate behavioral states. However, the effect of binaural beats, particularly those with slow frequencies (

Episodic long-term memory formation during slow-wave sleep [PDF]

eLife
We 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

Autonomic Modulation During Baseline and Recovery Sleep in Adult Sleepwalkers

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Sleepwalking has been conceptualized as deregulation between slow-wave sleep and arousal, with its occurrence in predisposed patients increasing following sleep deprivation.

The Rise and Fall of Slow Wave Tides: Vacillations in Coupled Slow Wave/Spindle Pairing Shift the Composition of Slow Wave Activity in Accordance With Depth of Sleep

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Slow wave activity (SWA) during sleep is associated with synaptic regulation and memory processing functions. Each cycle of non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep demonstrates a waxing and waning amount of SWA during the transitions between stages N2 and N3

High-Resolution Spectral Sleep Analysis Reveals a Novel Association Between Slow Oscillations and Memory Retention in Elderly Adults

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
Objective: In recognition of the mixed associations between traditionally scored slow wave sleep and memory, we sought to explore the relationships between slow wave sleep, electroencephalographic (EEG) power spectra during sleep and overnight verbal ...

Somatostatin neuron contributions to cortical slow wave dysfunction in adult mice exposed to developmental ethanol

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionTransitions between sleep and waking and sleep-dependent cortical oscillations are heavily dependent on GABAergic neurons. Importantly, GABAergic neurons are especially sensitive to developmental ethanol exposure, suggesting a potential ...

Altered EEG markers of synaptic plasticity in a human model of NMDA receptor deficiency: Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis

NeuroImage, 2021
Plasticity of synaptic strength and density is a vital mechanism enabling memory consolidation, learning, and neurodevelopment. It is strongly dependent on the intact function of N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptors (NMDAR).
