Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Sleep in Cognition and Emotion
TL;DR: Accumulating evidence for the role of sleep in memory processing will be discussed, suggesting that the long‐term goal of sleep may not be the strengthening of individual memory items, but, instead, their abstracted assimilation into a schema of generalized knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining Phenotypic Causes of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Identification of Novel Therapeutic Targets
TL;DR: It is confirmed that OSA is a heterogeneous disorder and abnormalities in nonanatomic traits are also present in most patients with OSA, and a three-point scale for weighting the relative contribution of the traits is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep, learning, and dreams: off-line memory reprocessing
TL;DR: Evidence supports a role for sleep in the consolidation of an array of learning and memory tasks and new methodologies allow the experimental manipulation of dream content at sleep onset, permitting an objective and scientific study of this dream formation and a renewed search for the possible functions of dreaming and the biological processes subserving it.

Chronic Insomnia Is Associated with Nyctohemeral Activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis: Clinical Implications

TL;DR: It is concluded that insomnia is associated with an overall increase of ACTH and cortisol secretion, which, however, retains a normal circadian pattern, consistent with a disorder of central nervous system hyperarousal rather than one of sleep loss, which is usually associated with no change or decrease in cortisol secretion or a circadian disturbance.

Are spatial memories strengthened in the human hippocampus during slow wave sleep

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.
