TLDR
This paper reviews a novel hypothesis about the functions of slow wave sleep-the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis, which accounts for a large number of experimental facts, makes several specific predictions, and has implications for both sleep and mood disorders.

Traveling Slow Oscillations During Sleep: A Marker of Brain Connectivity in Childhood

TL;DR: Age-related changes in slow oscillation propagation distance, as well as regional associations between brain activity during sleep and the anatomical connectivity of white matter microstructure are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep Enforces the Temporal Order in Memory

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that consolidation during sleep strengthens the original temporal sequence structure in memory, presumably as a result of a replay of new representations during sleep in forward direction, which suggests that the temporally directed replay of memory during sleep could be the key mechanism that explains how temporal order is integrated and maintained in the trace of an episodic memory.

Local use-dependent sleep.

TL;DR: The paradigm represented by the articles in this issue offers testable hypotheses for the mechanisms underlying these phenomena and suggests that sleep is indeed self-organizing and a property of any viable neuronal network.

The memory function of noradrenergic activity in non-rem sleep

TL;DR: It is concluded that noradrenergic activity during non-REM sleep interacts with other sleep-related mechanisms to functionally contribute to off-line memory consolidation and enhances memory retention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Anesthesia on the Response to Sleep Deprivation

TL;DR: The blunted SWA rebound after ISO-sw and DES-sw suggests that anesthesia slow waves may substitute for sleep slow waves, and may suggest that anesthesiaslow waves are not an absolute requirement to discharge sleep pressure.

An Energy Budget for Signaling in the Grey Matter of the Brain

TL;DR: The estimates of energy usage predict the use of distributed codes, with ≤15% of neurons simultaneously active, to reduce energy consumption and allow greater computing power from a fixed number of neurons.

Regional differences in synaptogenesis in human cerebral cortex.

TL;DR: Findings in the human resemble those in rhesus monkeys, including overproduction of synaptic contacts in infancy, persistence of high levels of synaptic density to late childhood or adolescence, the absolute values of maximum and adult synaptic density, and layer specific differences.

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.

Reactivation of hippocampal ensemble memories during sleep.

TL;DR: In this paper, large ensembles of hippocampal "place cells" were recorded from three rats during spatial behavioral tasks and in slow-wave sleep preceding and following these behaviors, showing an increased tendency to fire together during subsequent sleep, in comparison to sleep episodes preceding the behavioral tasks.
