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

A fundamental feature of human memory is the propensity for beneficial changes in
information storage after initial encoding. Recent research findings favor the possibility that …

Brain rhythms regulate information processing in different states to enable learning and
memory formation. The< 1 Hz sleep slow oscillation hallmarks slow-wave sleep and is …

For the past two decades, it has generally been accepted that sleep benefits motor memory
consolidation processes. This notion, however, has been challenged by recent studies and …

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 …

Even modest sleep restriction, especially the loss of sleep slow wave activity (SWA), is
invariably associated with slower electroencephalogram (EEG) activity during wake, the …

This joint article reflects the authors' personal views regarding noteworthy advances in the
neuroscience of consciousness in the last 10 years, and suggests what we feel may be …

Sleep spindles are extensively studied electroencephalographic rhythms that recur
periodically during non–rapid eye movement sleep and that are associated with rhythmic …

Rodents sleep in bouts lasting minutes; humans sleep for hours. What are the universal
needs served by sleep given such variability? In sleeping mice and humans, through …

Aging induces multiple changes to sleep spindles, which may hinder their alleged functional
role in memory and sleep protection mechanisms. Brain aging in specific cortical regions …
