Sleep plays an important role in maintaining neuronal circuitry, signalling and helps
maintain overall health and wellbeing. Sleep deprivation (SD) disturbs the circadian …

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 disturbances and cognitive impairment are common in older adults. Mounting
evidence points to a potential connection between sleep and cognitive function. Findings …

The hippocampus has a pivotal role in learning and in the formation and consolidation of

Dendritic spines are the major sites of synaptic transmission in the central nervous system.
Alterations in the strength of synaptic connections directly affect the neuronal …

Despite the ubiquity of sleep across phylogeny, its function remains elusive. In this review,
we consider one compelling candidate: brain plasticity associated with memory processing …

Sleep is a complex physiological process that is regulated globally, regionally, and locally
by both cellular and molecular mechanisms. It occurs to some extent in all animals, although …

Adequate sleep is essential for normal brain function, especially during early life
developmental stages as postnatal brain maturation occurs during the critical period of …

Brief periods of sleep loss have long-lasting consequences such as impaired memory
consolidation. Structural changes in synaptic connectivity have been proposed as a …

Sleep is a vital function of the nervous system that contributes to brain and bodily
