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 ...

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

Targeted memory reactivation in REM but not SWS selectively reduces arousal responses
Communications Biology, 2021 Hutchison et al. played sounds, which were paired with either emotionally negative or neutral images, to participants during either REM or slow-wave stages of sleep.

Sleep Disturbances in Rats With Genetic Pre-disposition to Spike-Wave Epilepsy (WAG/Rij)
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Wistar Albino Glaxo Rijswijk (WAG/Rij) rats are widely used in basic and pre-clinical studies as a valid genetic model of absence epilepsy. Adult WAG/Rij rats exhibit generalized 8–10-Hz spike-wave discharges (SWDs) in the electroencephalogram.

Characterising the relationship between sleep stages and associated spectral power in diabetes
Sleep Epidemiology, 2022 Sleep disturbances are prevalent in the UK and globally, with sleep data from across 13 countries suggesting that only 55% of adults are satisfied with their sleep. Disturbed sleep is found in diabetes which is one of the most serious diseases worldwide.

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.
