Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep improves the variability of motor performance.
TL;DR: Two main hypotheses are compared: the first, that off-line replay during sleep leads to further potentiation of synaptic circuits involved in learning; the second, that sleep enhances performance by uniformly downscaling synaptic strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of morning training on night sleep: a behavioral and EEG study.
Sara Määttä,Eric C. Landsness,Simone Sarasso,Fabio Ferrarelli,Florinda Ferreri,Florinda Ferreri,M. Felice Ghilardi,Giulio Tononi +7 more
TL;DR: Training-induced changes in sleep SWA and post-sleep improvements do not depend upon the time interval between original training and sleep, and an increase of SWA over the right posterior parietal areas that was most evident during the second sleep cycle is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why Does Sleep Slow-Wave Activity Increase After Extended Wake? Assessing the Effects of Increased Cortical Firing During Wake and Sleep
Alexander V. Rodriguez,Chadd M. Funk,Vladyslav V. Vyazovskiy,Yuval Nir,Giulio Tononi,Chiara Cirelli +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that neurons need more time OFF only after sustained firing in wake, suggesting that fatigue due to sustained firing alone is unlikely to account for the increase in SWA that follows sleep deprivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Region-Specific Dissociation between Cortical Noradrenaline Levels and the Sleep/Wake Cycle.
TL;DR: Locus coeruleus (LC) neurons targeting prefrontal cortex may fatigue more markedly, or earlier, than other LC cells, suggesting one of the mechanisms underlying the cognitive impairment and the increased sleep presure associated with sleep deprivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic changes following imitation-based speech and language therapy for aphasia: a high-density sleep EEG study.
Simone Sarasso,Sara Määttä,Fabio Ferrarelli,Rositsa Poryazova,Giulio Tononi,Steven L. Small,Steven L. Small +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that SWA changes occurring in brain areas activated during imitation-based aphasia therapy may reflect the acute plastic changes induced by this intervention.
