Cortical excitability signatures for the degree of sleepiness in human

eLife, 2021
Sleep is essential in maintaining physiological homeostasis in the brain. While the underlying mechanism is not fully understood, a ‘synaptic homeostasis’ theory has been proposed that synapses continue to strengthen during awake and undergo downscaling ...

Modeling circadian and sleep-homeostatic effects on short-term interval timing [PDF]

, 2015
Short-term interval timing i.e., perception and action relating to durations in the seconds range, has been suggested to display time-of-day as well as wake dependent fluctuations due to circadian and sleep-homeostatic changes to the rate at which an ...
