Sleep spindles are burstlike signals in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the sleeping
mammalian brain and electrical surface correlates of neuronal oscillations in thalamus. As …

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 …

Clear associations of sleep, cognitive performance, and behavioral problems have been
demonstrated in meta-analyses of studies in adults. This meta-analysis is the first to …

Until recently, the electrophysiological mechanisms involved in strengthening new
memories into a more permanent form during sleep have been largely unknown. The sleep …

“Is there a biology of intelligence which is characteristic of the normal human nervous
system?” Here we review 37 modern neuroimaging studies in an attempt to address this …

BACKGROUND: Sleep spindles are thought to induce synaptic changes and thereby
contribute to memory consolidation during sleep. Patients with schizophrenia show dramatic …

Sleep benefits memory consolidation. The reviewed studies indicate that this consolidating
effect is not revealed under all circumstances but is linked to specific psychological …

Precise temporal coordination of slow oscillations (SO) and sleep spindles is a fundamental
mechanism of sleep-dependent memory consolidation. SO and spindle morphology …

Sleep is strongly involved in memory consolidation, but its role remains unclear.'Sleep
replay', the active potentiation of relevant synaptic connections via reactivation of patterns of …

Restoring sleep is strongly associated with a better physical, cognitive, and psychological
well-being. By contrast, poor or disordered sleep is related to impairment of cognitive and …
