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

Targeted memory reactivation (TMR) is a methodology employed to manipulate memory
processing during sleep. TMR studies have great potential to advance understanding of …

During systems-level consolidation, mnemonic representations initially reliant on the
hippocampus are thought to migrate to neocortical sites for more permanent storage, with an …

Brain activity during sleep is characterized by circuit-specific oscillations, including slow
waves, spindles and theta waves, which are nested in thalamocortical or hippocampal …

How are brief encounters transformed into lasting memories? Previous research has
established the role of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, along with its …

INTRODUCTION The hippocampus plays an important role in memory and spatial
navigation. When rodents navigate a spatial maze, hippocampal neurons called place cells …

Sleep spindles are transient oscillatory waveforms that occur during non-rapid eye
movement (NREM) sleep across widespread cortical areas. In humans, spindles can be …

We propose a framework for the memory function of spindle oscillations during sleep. In this
framework, memories are reinstated by spindle events and further reprocessed during …

Since the advent of EEG recordings, sleep spindles have been identified as hallmarks of
non‐REM sleep. Despite a broad general understanding of mechanisms of spindle …

Sleep spindles are related to sleep‐dependent memory consolidation and general cognitive
abilities. However, they undergo drastic maturational changes during adolescence. Here we …
