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.

Brain rhythm attractor breakdown in Alzheimer's disease: Functional and pathologic implications

TL;DR: This approach explains behavioral‐cognitive changes in AD across the sleep‐wake cycle and supports a causal association between early brainstem tau pathology and subsequent cortical amyloid β accumulation, which could explain deficient memory consolidation through dysregulation of synaptic plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep cyclic alternating pattern and cognition in children: a review.

TL;DR: It can be hypothesized that the analysis of CAP might be helpful in characterizing sleep microstructure patterns of different phenotypes of intellectual disability and a series of studies has been carried out that are reviewed, to achieve a unitary view of the role of CAP.

Waking experience modulates sleep need in mice

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of repetitive behaviors such as wheel running or performing a simple touchscreen task, with wakefulness dominated by novel object exploration, on sleep timing and EEG slow-wave activity (SWA) during subsequent NREM sleep were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retinoic acid receptor antagonist LE540 attenuates wakefulness via the dopamine D1 receptor in mice.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the 4-week antagonism of RARs induces the attenuation of delta power, which may be elicited indirectly by the decrease of wakefulness followed by the hypo-expression of dopamine receptors especially D1DR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reinforcing rhythms in the sleeping brain with a computerized metronome.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that appropriately timed sounds delivered during sleep can invigorate electrophysiological oscillations conducive to memory stabilization, which is important in memory consolidation.

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.
