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.About:

Is sleep‐related verbal memory consolidation impaired in sleepwalkers?
Ginevra Uguccioni,Ginevra Uguccioni,Olivier Pallanca,Olivier Pallanca,Jean-Louis Golmard,Smaranda Leu-Semenescu,Isabelle Arnulf,Isabelle Arnulf +7 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, the alteration of slow‐wave sleep during sleepwalking/sleep terror does not noticeably impact on sleep‐related verbal memory consolidation.

TL;DR: This chapter presents contemporary views about the complex neurobiology of sleep and its functions with important implications for adolescence.

Circadian modulation of neuroplasticity in humans and potential therapeutic implications.
TL;DR: The known mechanisms and techniques used to induce neuroplasticity, circadian modulation of neuroplastics, and the potential implications of these findings for human neurorehabilitation are discussed.

Sleep is more than rest for plasticity in the human cortex
Christoph Nissen,Christoph Nissen,Hannah Piosczyk,Johannes Holz,Jonathan G. Maier,Jonathan G. Maier,Lukas Frase,Annette Sterr,Dieter Riemann,Bernd Feige +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a texture discrimination task, a proxy for neural plasticity in primary visual cortex, was performed on healthy humans in the morning and retested in the afternoon after a period of daytime sleep, passive waking with maximally reduced interference, or active waking.

An Energy Budget for Signaling in the Grey Matter of the Brain
David Attwell,Simon B. Laughlin +1 more
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.
