The sleep-deprived human brain
How does a lack of sleep affect our brains? In contrast to the benefits of sleep, frameworks
exploring the impact of sleep loss are relatively lacking. Importantly, the effects of sleep …

[HTML][HTML] Sleep and human aging
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 …

Sleep and the price of plasticity: from synaptic and cellular homeostasis to memory consolidation and integration
Sleep is universal, tightly regulated, and its loss impairs cognition. But why does the brain
need to disconnect from the environment for hours every day? The synaptic homeostasis …

[HTML][HTML] About sleep's role in memory
Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

Applications of transcranial direct current stimulation for understanding brain function
In recent years there has been an exponential rise in the number of studies employing
transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a means of gaining a systems-level …

Sleep, plasticity and memory from molecules to whole-brain networks
Despite the ubiquity of sleep across phylogeny, its function remains elusive. In this review,
we consider one compelling candidate: brain plasticity associated with memory processing …

Low frequency transcranial electrical stimulation does not entrain sleep rhythms measured by human intracranial recordings
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 …

Differential effects of non-REM and REM sleep on memory consolidation?
S Ackermann, B Rasch - Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2014 - Springer
Sleep benefits memory consolidation. Previous theoretical accounts have proposed a
differential role of slow-wave sleep (SWS), rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, and stage N2 …

Sleeping on the motor engram: the multifaceted nature of sleep-related motor memory consolidation
For the past two decades, it has generally been accepted that sleep benefits motor memory
consolidation processes. This notion, however, has been challenged by recent studies and …
