Memory consolidation refers to the transformation over time of experience-dependent
internal representations and their neurobiological underpinnings. The process is assumed …

Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

Sleep homeostasis is a complex neurobiologic phenomenon involving a number of
molecular pathways, neurotransmitter release, synaptic activity, and factors modulating …

Sleep supports memory consolidation. Based on studies in mammals, sleep-dependent
consolidation has been conceptualized as 'active system consolidation'. During waking …

Sleep spindles are distinctive electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillations emerging during
non-rapid-eye-movement sleep (NREMS) that have been implicated in multiple brain …

Sleep is a highly conserved phenomenon in endotherms, and therefore it must serve at least
one basic function across this wide range of species. What that function is remains one of …

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) has many cellular functions. Recent evidence
suggests that it plays a key role in certain types of synaptic plasticity, in particular a form of …

Dimethyltryptamines are entheogenic serotonin-like molecules present in traditional
Amerindian medicine recently associated with cognitive gains, antidepressant effects, and …

Sleep is widely believed to play an essential role in synaptic plasticity. However, the precise
mechanisms governing this presumptive function are largely unknown. There is also …

Good sleep habits and effective self-control are important components of successful
functioning. Unfortunately chronic sleep loss and impaired self-control are common …
