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.

The brain at low temperature: Neuronal and behavioural dynamics in mammalian hibernation and torpor

TL;DR: De gevonden tau-eiwit hyperfosforylatie tijdens torpor in Goudhamsters heeft sterke overeenkomsten, maar ook verschillen met de hyperfogelen gan de ziekte van Alzheimer bij mensen.

Sleep spindles track cortical learning patterns for memory consolidation

TL;DR: This paper found that spindles are most pronounced over learning-related cortical areas and that the extent of this learning-spindle overlap predicts behavioral measures of memory consolidation, which is facilitated by post-learning sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleepless and desynchronized: Impaired inter trial phase coherence of steady-state potentials following sleep deprivation.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the capability of the brain to synchronize with rhythmic stimuli is disrupted without sleep, and decreased ITPC may represent an objective and mechanistic measure of sleep loss, allowing future work to study the relation between brain-world synchrony and the specific functional impairments associated with sleep deprivation.

Detection of Cortical Slow Waves in the Sleep EEG Using a Modified Matching Pursuit Method With a Restricted Dictionary

TL;DR: By mimicking the way human processes information while scoring SSW, the RMP algorithm proves stable over time and sleep/wake states, and may thus be used with virtually no human intervention.

The role of active zone protein Rab3 interacting molecule 1 alpha in the regulation of norepinephrine release, response to novelty, and sleep.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mice lacking Rab3 interacting molecule 1 alpha (RIM1 alpha) (Rim1 alpha KO), a protein of the synaptic active zone required for certain types of synaptic plasticity and learning, had 53+/-5% less baseline rapid eye movement (REM) sleep compared with their wild type littermates.

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.
