Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep function and synaptic homeostasis.
Giulio Tononi,Chiara Cirelli +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews a novel hypothesis about the functions of slow wave sleep-the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis, which accounts for a large number of experimental facts, makes several specific predictions, and has implications for both sleep and mood disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep and the Price of Plasticity: From Synaptic and Cellular Homeostasis to Memory Consolidation and Integration
Giulio Tononi,Chiara Cirelli +1 more
TL;DR: This Perspective considers the rationale and evidence for the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis (SHY), and points to open issues related to sleep and plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlates of Sleep and Waking in Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: Drosophila rest is characterized by an increased arousal threshold and is homeostatically regulated independently of the circadian clock, which implicate the catabolism of monoamines in the regulation of sleep and waking in the fly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep and synaptic homeostasis: a hypothesis.
Giulio Tononi,Chiara Cirelli +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesized link between sleep and synaptic homeostasis is supported by several lines of evidence and leads to testable predictions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional Slow Waves and Spindles in Human Sleep
Yuval Nir,Richard J. Staba,Thomas Andrillon,Thomas Andrillon,Vladyslav V. Vyazovskiy,Chiara Cirelli,Itzhak Fried,Itzhak Fried,Giulio Tononi +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that most sleep slow waves and the underlying active and inactive neuronal states occur locally, especially in late sleep, and that slow waves can propagate, usually from medial prefrontal cortex to the medial temporal lobe and hippocampus.
