Sleep deprivation and neurobehavioral dynamics

TLDR
Current research suggests dynamic differences in the way the central nervous system responds to acute versus chronic sleep restriction, which is reflected in new models of sleep-wake regulation.

The sleep-deprived human brain

TL;DR: The consequences of sleep deprivation on attention and working memory, positive and negative emotion, and hippocampal learning are reviewed, and how this evidence informs mechanistic understanding of the known changes in cognition and emotion associated with SD is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Sleep-Immune Crosstalk in Health and Disease

TL;DR: The induction of a hormonal constellation that supports immune functions is one likely mechanism underlying the immune-supporting effects of sleep, and sleep appears to promote inflammatory homeostasis through effects on several inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence that birds sleep in mid-flight

TL;DR: It is established that birds can sleep in flight, and the results challenge the view that they sustain prolonged flights by obtaining normal amounts of sleep on the wing.
Journal ArticleDOI

How acute total sleep loss affects the attending brain: a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies.

TL;DR: Acute total sleep deprivation decreases brain activation in the fronto-parietal attention network (prefrontal cortex and intraparietal sulcus) and in the salience network (insula and medial frontal cortex), and increased thalamic activation after sleep deprivation may reflect a complex interaction between the de-arousing effects of sleep loss and the arousing effects of task performance onThalamic activity.

Light and Cognition: Roles for Circadian Rhythms, Sleep, and Arousal.

TL;DR: It is proposed that studies addressing the effects of different lighting conditions on cognitive processes must also account for their effects on circadian rhythms, sleep, and arousal if they are to fully understand the physiological basis of these responses.

The memory function of sleep

TL;DR: Sleep has been identified as a state that optimizes the consolidation of newly acquired information in memory, depending on the specific conditions of learning and the timing of sleep, through specific patterns of neuromodulatory activity and electric field potential oscillations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cumulative Cost of Additional Wakefulness: Dose-Response Effects on Neurobehavioral Functions and Sleep Physiology From Chronic Sleep Restriction and Total Sleep Deprivation

TL;DR: It appears that even relatively moderate sleep restriction can seriously impair waking neurobehavioral functions in healthy adults, and sleep debt is perhaps best understood as resulting in additional wakefulness that has a neurobiological "cost" which accumulates over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurocognitive Consequences of Sleep Deprivation

TL;DR: Cognitive deficits believed to be a function of the severity of clinical sleep disturbance may be a product of genetic alleles associated with differential cognitive vulnerability to sleep loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep homeostasis and models of sleep regulation

TL;DR: Simulation of the time course of EEG slow-wave activity, the major marker of non-REM sleep homeostasis, as well as daytime alertness and nonlinear interactions between homeostatic and circadian processes were identified.
