Older adults do not sleep as well as younger adults. Why? What alterations in sleep quantity
and quality occur as we age, and are there functional consequences? What are the …

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

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 …

Here we critically review studies that used electroencephalography (EEG) or event-related
potential (ERP) indices as a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease. In the first part we overview …

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

The world's population is aging. With this comes an increase in the prevalence of age-
associated diseases, which amplifies the need for novel treatments to counteract cognitive …

Abstract Study Objectives Cortical slow oscillations (SOs) and thalamocortical sleep
spindles hallmark slow wave sleep and facilitate memory consolidation, both of which are …

Slow-wave sleep (SWS) is involved in the overnight consolidation of declarative memories.
Recent efforts using auditory stimulation, slow-oscillatory transcranial direct current …

Sleep plays a critical role in the process of memory consolidation. In particular, during non-
rapid eye movement (NREM) slow wave sleep, slow-oscillations, spindles, hippocampal …

Over the past few decades, the importance of sleep has become increasingly recognized for
many physiologic functions, including cognition. Many studies have reported the deleterious …
