Older adults do not sleep as well as younger adults. Why? What alterations in sleep quantity
and quality occur as we age, and are there functional consequences? What are the …

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a peculiar neural state that occupies 20–25% of
nighttime sleep in healthy human adults and seems to play critical roles in a variety of …

The coupled interaction between slow-wave oscillations and sleep spindles during non-
rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep has been proposed to support memory consolidation …

Sleep constitutes a privileged state for new memories to reactivate and consolidate.
Previous work has demonstrated that consolidation can be bolstered experimentally either …

Sleep has been implicated in both memory consolidation and forgetting of experiences.
However, it is unclear what governs the balance between consolidation and forgetting. Here …

In the human brain, oscillations occur during neural processes that are relevant for memory.
This has been demonstrated by a plethora of studies relating memory processes to specific …

The memories that we retain can serve many functions. They guide our future actions, form a
scaffold for constructing the self, and continue to shape both the self and the way we …

After experiences are encoded into memory, post-encoding reactivation mechanisms have
been proposed to mediate long-term memory stabilization and transformation. Spontaneous …

Background Auditory stimulation has emerged as a promising tool to enhance non-
invasively sleep slow waves, deep sleep brain oscillations that are tightly linked to sleep …

Sleep staging is a fundamental but time consuming process in any sleep laboratory. To
greatly speed up sleep staging without compromising accuracy, we developed a novel …
