Anecdotally, there can be little doubt that sleep plays a role in maintaining a good mood and
cognitive acuity. Sleep deprivation one night followed by “getting a good night's sleep” on …

Light exerts a wide range of effects on mammalian physiology and behavior. As well as
synchronizing circadian rhythms to the external environment, light has been shown to …

While the interaction of the cardinal rhythms of non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep—the
thalamo-cortical spindles, hippocampal ripples, and the cortical slow oscillations—is thought …

Activity in hippocampal area CA1 is essential for consolidating episodic memories, but it is
unclear how CA1 activity patterns drive memory formation. We find that in the hours …

Brief periods of sleep loss have long-lasting consequences such as impaired memory
consolidation. Structural changes in synaptic connectivity have been proposed as a …

Despite the ongoing fundamental controversy about the physiological function of sleep,
there is general consensus that sleep benefits neuronal plasticity, which ultimately supports …

Rats and mice have been demonstrated to show episodic-like memory, a prototype of
episodic memory, as defined by an integrated memory of the experience of an object or …

Sleep loss disrupts consolidation of hippocampus-dependent memory. To characterize
effects of learning and sleep loss, we quantified activity-dependent phosphorylation of …

Neuronal learning activity is reactivated during sleep but the dynamics of this reactivation in
humans are still poorly understood. Here we use multivariate pattern classification to decode …

Sleep is a vital and evolutionarily conserved process, critical to daily functioning and
homeostatic balance. Losing sleep is inherently stressful and leads to numerous detrimental …
