TL;DR: It is shown that, in humans, hippocampal areas that are activated during route learning in a virtual town are likewise activated during subsequent slow wave sleep, and that the amount of hippocampal activity expressed during slow waveSleep positively correlates with the improvement of performance in route retrieval on the next day.

TL;DR: The growing amount of evidence supporting the hypothesis that Alzheimer's disease includes a disconnection syndrome, mainly from neuropathological, electrophysiological, and neuroimaging studies is reviewed.

TL;DR: A review of the cerebral substrates of the central executive component of the working memory model is presented in this article, where it is shown that different executive functions (manipulating and updating of information, dual-task coordination, inhibition and shifting processes) not only recruit various frontal areas but also depend upon posterior (mainly parietal) regions.

TL;DR: The picture that emerges from this assessment is that beyond physiological variables, time-of-day modulations affect performance on a wide range of cognitive tasks measuring attentional capacities, executive functioning, and memory.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the VMPFC is crucial for representing knowledge pertaining to the self and that this is an important function of the resting state.
