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:

Infant Sleep Predicts Attention Regulation and Behavior Problems at 3–4 Years of Age
TL;DR: Findings underscore the need to identify and treat early sleep problems and lower quality of sleep in infancy significantly predicted compromised attention regulation and behavior problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do birds sleep in flight
TL;DR: Determining if and how birds sleep in flight will contribute to the understanding of a largely unexplored aspect of avian behavior and may also provide insight into the function of sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleeping to fuel the immune system: mammalian sleep and resistance to parasites
TL;DR: Examining phylogenetic relationships among sleep parameters, components of the mammalian immune system and resistance to infection may provide insight into the evolution of sleep and lead to a greater appreciation for the role of sleep in host defense.

Sleep and its relation to cognition and behaviour in preschool-aged children of the general population: a systematic review
Eve Reynaud,Eve Reynaud,Eve Reynaud,Marie-Françoise Vecchierini,Barbara Heude,Barbara Heude,Marie-Aline Charles,Marie-Aline Charles,Sabine Plancoulaine,Sabine Plancoulaine +9 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of the literature on sleep and its relation to cognition and behaviour in preschool-aged children is presented in this paper, which revealed a high degree of heterogeneity regarding the type and means of measuring sleep variables and behavioural and cognitive variables, as well as the statistical methods employed.

Topography of sleep slow wave activity in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

TL;DR: This study supports the use of sleep SWA topography as a reliable imaging tool for the study of cortical plasticity, as children with ADHD showed a less mature topographical SWA distribution in comparison to healthy children of the same age and sex.

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.
