In this Review, we describe the singular success of attractor neural network models in
describing how the brain maintains persistent activity states for working memory, corrects …

Although long-term memory consolidation is supported by sleep, it is unclear how it differs
from that during wakefulness. Our review, focusing on recent advances in the field, identifies …

Learning and plasticity rely on fine-tuned regulation of neuronal circuits during offline
periods. An unresolved puzzle is how the sleeping brain, in the absence of external …

Cravings that precede loss of control (LOC) over food consumption present an opportunity
for intervention in patients with the binge eating disorder (BED). In this pilot study, we used …

Absence seizures in children and teenagers are generally considered relatively benign
because of their non-convulsive nature and the large incidence of remittance in early …

Sleep is ubiquitous and essential, but its mechanisms remain unclear. Studies in animals
and humans have provided insights of sleep at vastly different spatiotemporal scales …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) enables mammals to respond to situations, including internal
states, with appropriate actions. One such internal state could be 'tiredness'. Here, using …

Common human experience is that a long period without sleep is unsustainable, and it is
also detrimental to health and behavior. The powerful and primal urge to sleep after sleep …

The development of cutting-edge techniques to study specific brain regions and neural
circuits that regulate sleep–wake brain states and general anesthesia (GA), has increased …

A hallmark of non-rapid eye movement sleep is the coordinated interplay of slow oscillations
(SOs) and sleep spindles. Traditionally, a cortico-thalamo-cortical loop is suggested to …
