Functional recovery after stroke is associated with a remapping of neural circuits. This
reorganization is often associated with low-frequency, high-amplitude oscillations in the peri …

Our own experiences with disturbances to sleep demonstrate its crucial role in the recovery
of cognitive functions. This importance is likely enhanced in the recovery from stroke; both in …

Sleep is known to promote recovery after stroke. Yet it remains unclear how stroke affects
neural processing during sleep. Using an experimental stroke model in rats along with …

Despite advancements in understanding the pathophysiology of stroke and the state of the
art in acute management of afflicted patients as well as in subsequent neurorehabilitation …

Poststroke optogenetic stimulations can promote functional recovery. However, the circuit
mechanisms underlying recovery remain unclear. Elucidating key neural circuits involved in …

Slow waves represent one of the prominent EEG signatures of non-rapid eye movement
(non-REM) sleep and are thought to play an important role in the cellular and network …

Treatment for stroke is very limited, and potential new therapies are focusing on promoting
brain repair and plasticity, as they offer a longer therapeutic time window than the current US …

During non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, cortical neurons alternate between ON
periods of firing and OFF periods of silence. This bi-stability, which is largely synchronous …

Accumulating evidence suggests that sleep is important for plasticity and memory
consolidation (Maquet, 2001; Walker and Stickgold, 2004; Datta and Maclean, 2007; …

Objective Evidence from previous studies suggests that greater sleep pressure, in the form
of EEG-based slow waves, accumulates in specific brain regions that are more active during …
