Slow-wave sleep: from the cell to the clinic
In recent decades, increasing evidence has positioned slow-wave sleep (SWS) as a major
actor in neurophysiological phenomena such as glucose metabolism, hormone release …

Sleep function and synaptic homeostasis
This paper reviews a novel hypothesis about the functions of slow wave sleep—the synaptic
homeostasis hypothesis. According to the hypothesis, plastic processes occurring during …

Sleep homeostasis and models of sleep regulation
AA Borb, P Achermann - Journal of biological rhythms, 1999 - journals.sagepub.com
According to the two-process model of sleep regulation, the timing and structure of sleep are
determined by the interaction of a homeostatic and a circadian process. The original …

[HTML][HTML] Cortical firing and sleep homeostasis
The need to sleep grows with the duration of wakefulness and dissipates with time spent
asleep, a process called sleep homeostasis. What are the consequences of staying awake …

Sleep and synaptic homeostasis: a hypothesis
During much of sleep, the cerebral cortex is rippled by slow waves, which appear in the
electroencephalogram as oscillations between 0.5 and 4.5 Hz. Slow waves are regulated as …

The reinterpretation of dreams: An evolutionary hypothesis of the function of dreaming
A Revonsuo - Behavioral and brain sciences, 2000 - cambridge.org
Several theories claim that dreaming is a random by-product of REM sleep physiology and
that it does not serve any natural function. Phenomenal dream content, however, is not as …
