Sleep is implicated in cognitive functioning in young adults. With increasing age, there are
substantial changes to sleep quantity and quality, including changes to slow-wave sleep …

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 …

Multiple studies have examined associations between sleep and cognition in older adults,
but a majority of these depend on self-reports on sleep and utilize cognitive tests that assess …

The final goal of motor learning, a complex process that includes both implicit and explicit (or
declarative) components, is the optimization and automatization of motor skills. Motor …

Polysomnographic studies have been conducted to explore sleep changes in Parkinson's
disease (PD), but the relationships between sleep disturbances and PD are imperfectly …

Sleep disturbances are among the most common nonmotor complications of Parkinson's
disease (PD), can present in prodromal stages, and progress with advancing disease. In …

Recent research has highlighted the potential of transcranial direct current stimulation
(tDCS) to complement rehabilitation effects in the elderly and in patients with neurological …

Sleep spindles promote the consolidation of motor skill memory in young adults. Older
adults, however, exhibit impoverished sleep-dependent motor memory consolidation. The …
