Sleep spindles are burstlike signals in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the sleeping
mammalian brain and electrical surface correlates of neuronal oscillations in thalamus. As …

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 …

Memories are initially encoded in the hippocampus but subsequently consolidated to the
cortex. Although synaptic plasticity is key to these processes, its precise spatiotemporal …

Brain activity during sleep is characterized by circuit-specific oscillations, including slow
waves, spindles and theta waves, which are nested in thalamocortical or hippocampal …

Sleep has been implicated in both memory consolidation and forgetting of experiences.
However, it is unclear what governs the balance between consolidation and forgetting. Here …

Fast and wide field-of-view imaging with single-cell resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio,
and no optical aberrations have the potential to inspire new avenues of investigations in …

The neural mechanisms underlying memory regulation during sleep are not yet fully
understood. We found that melanin concentrating hormone–producing neurons (MCH …

The occurrence of dreaming during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep prompts interest in the
role of REM sleep in hippocampal-dependent episodic memory. Within the mammalian …

INTRODUCTION Arguably one of the biggest mysteries in neuroscience is how the brain
stores long-term memories. Since the 1950s, it has been well established that long-term …

Sleep homeostasis is a complex neurobiologic phenomenon involving a number of
molecular pathways, neurotransmitter release, synaptic activity, and factors modulating …
