Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Brain Structural Changes and Neurocognitive Function before and after Treatment
Nicola Canessa,Vincenza Castronovo,Stefano F. Cappa,Mark S. Aloia,Sara Marelli,Andrea Falini,Federica Alemanno,Luigi Ferini-Strambi +7 more
TL;DR: The cognitive and structural deficits in OSA may be secondary to sleep deprivation and repetitive nocturnal intermittent hypoxemia and may be recovered by consistent and thorough treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
REM sleep and dreaming: towards a theory of protoconsciousness
TL;DR: The theory advanced here emphasizes data that suggest that REM sleep may constitute a protoconscious state, providing a virtual reality model of the world that is of functional use to the development and maintenance of waking consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of arousal in sleep.
TL;DR: Understanding the role of arousals and CAP and the relationship between physiologic and pathologic MA can shed light on the adaptive properties of the sleeping brain and provide insight into the pathomechanisms of sleep disturbances.
Journal Article
Sites and sizes of fat deposits around the pharynx in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnoea and weight matched controls.
Richard L. Horner,Raad H. Mohiaddin,D G Lowell,Steven Shea,E D Burman,D B Longmore,Abraham Guz +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that more fat is present in those areas surrounding the collapsable segment of the pharynx in patients with OSA, compared to equally obese control subjects without OSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep-Dependent Memory Consolidation and Reconsolidation
TL;DR: The role of sleep is reviewed in supporting the processes of memory consolidation and reconsolidation, a continuing series of biological adjustments that enhance both the efficiency and utility of stored memories over time.
