Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep parasomnias (or NREM parasomnias) are fascinating disorders with mysterious neurobiological substrates. These conditions are …
The most prominent EEG events in sleep are slow waves, reflecting a slow (< 1 Hz) oscillation between up and down states in cortical neurons. It is unknown whether slow …
In an awake state, neurons in the cerebral cortex fire irregularly and electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings display low-amplitude, high-frequency fluctuations. During sleep, neurons …

Highlights•Slow waves of NREM sleep can occur locally and asynchronously across brain regions.•Their regional distribution and amplitude is in part mediated by experience …
The overall function of sleep is hypothesized to provide “recovery” after preceding waking activities, thereby ensuring optimal functioning during subsequent wakefulness. However …
Abstract Study Objectives: Prolonged wakefulness leads to a progressive increase in sleep pressure, reflected in a global increase in slow wave activity (SWA, 0.5-4.5 Hz) in the sleep …
Somnambulism, or sleepwalking, can give rise to a wide range of adverse consequences and is one of the leading causes of sleep-related injury. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for …

Disorders of arousal (DOA) is an umbrella term initially covering classical sleepwalking, sleep terrors, and confusional arousals, and now including a wider spectrum of specialised …
Sleep has been classically described as an all-or-nothing global phenomenon. However, recent research strongly suggests that this view requires tempering. Invasive and non …
