Replay in deep learning: Current approaches and missing biological elements
Replay is the reactivation of one or more neural patterns that are similar to the activation
patterns experienced during past waking experiences. Replay was first observed in …

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 …

Cortical circuit activity underlying sleep slow oscillations and spindles
Slow oscillations and sleep spindles are hallmarks of the EEG during slow-wave sleep
(SWS). Both oscillatory events, especially when co-occurring in the constellation of spindles …

[PDF][PDF] Sleep and synaptic down-selection
Sleep is universal, tightly regulated, and many cognitive functions are impaired if we do not
sleep. But why? Why do our brains need to disconnect from the environment for hours every …

Driving sleep slow oscillations by auditory closed-loop stimulation—a self-limiting process
HVV Ngo, A Miedema, I Faude, T Martinetz… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The< 1 Hz EEG slow oscillation (SO) is a hallmark of slow-wave sleep (SWS) and is critically
involved in sleep-associated memory formation. Previous studies showed that SOs and …

Impaired tuning of neural ensembles and the pathophysiology of schizophrenia: a translational and computational neuroscience perspective
The functional optimization of neural ensembles is central to human higher cognitive
functions. When the functions through which neural activity is tuned fail to develop or break …

Human cortical excitability increases with time awake
Prolonged wakefulness is associated not only with obvious changes in the way we feel and
perform but also with well-known clinical effects, such as increased susceptibility to seizures …

The function (s) of sleep
Sleep is a highly conserved phenomenon in endotherms, and therefore it must serve at least
one basic function across this wide range of species. What that function is remains one of …
