People recall more information after sleep than after an equally long period of wakefulness.
This sleep benefit in episodic memory has been documented in almost a century of …

Alzheimer9s disease (AD) not only involves loss of memory functions, but also prominent
deterioration of sleep physiology, which is already evident at the stage of mild cognitive …

Transcranial electrical stimulation has widespread clinical and research applications, yet its
effect on ongoing neural activity in humans is not well established. Previous reports argue …

Transient episodes of brain oscillations are a common feature of both the waking and the
sleeping brain. Sleep spindles represent a prominent example of a poorly understood …

There is overwhelming evidence that sleep is crucial for memory consolidation. Patients with
schizophrenia and their unaffected relatives have a specific deficit in sleep spindles, a …

Neurological disorders affecting human memory present a major scientific, medical, and
societal challenge. Direct or indirect deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the entorhinal …

The experimental study of electroencephalographic slow wave sleep (SWS) stretches over
more than half a century and has corroborated its importance for basic physiological …

Slow-wave activity (SWA), and its coupling with other sleep features, reorganizes cortical
circuitry, supporting cognition. This raises the question: can cognition be improved through …

Sleep-related consolidation of declarative memories, as well as associated
neurophysiological events such as slow oscillatory and spindle activity, deteriorate in the …

Sleep promotes memory consolidation: the process by which newly acquired memories are
stabilised, strengthened, and integrated into long-term storage. Pioneering research in …
