Previously, we demonstrated that precise temporal coordination between slow oscillations
(SOs) and sleep spindles indexes declarative memory network development (Hahn et al …

Increasingly studied in a systematic manner since the 1970s, the cognitive processes of the
brain taking place during sleeping periods remain an important object of scrutiny in the …
