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:

Rhythms of the brain
TL;DR: The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep, and perturbation of the default patterns by experience.

The memory function of sleep
Susanne Diekelmann,Jan Born +1 more
TL;DR: Sleep has been identified as a state that optimizes the consolidation of newly acquired information in memory, depending on the specific conditions of learning and the timing of sleep, through specific patterns of neuromodulatory activity and electric field potential oscillations.

About sleep's role in memory
Bjoern Rasch,Jan Born,Jan Born +2 more
TL;DR: This review aims to comprehensively cover the field of "sleep and memory" research by providing a historical perspective on concepts and a discussion of more recent key findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurophysiological and Computational Principles of Cortical Rhythms in Cognition
TL;DR: A plethora of studies will be reviewed on the involvement of long-distance neuronal coherence in cognitive functions such as multisensory integration, working memory, and selective attention, and implications of abnormal neural synchronization are discussed as they relate to mental disorders like schizophrenia and autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress, Depression, and Neuroplasticity: A Convergence of Mechanisms
TL;DR: Greater appreciation of the convergence of mechanisms between stress, depression, and neuroplasticity is likely to lead to the identification of novel targets for more efficacious treatments.

Effect of sleep deprivation on sleep and EEG power spectra in the rat.
TL;DR: The results indicate that: (1) slow wave activity in non-REM sleep and theta activity in REM sleep may reflect sleep intensity; and (2) REM sleep and active waking, the two states with dominant theTA activity, may be functionally related.

Insomnia: epidemiology, characteristics, and consequences.
Thomas Roth,Timothy Roehrs +1 more
TL;DR: While transient insomnia produces sleepiness and impairment in psychomotor performance, chronic insomnia is associated with absenteeism, frequent accidents, memory impairment, and greater health care utilization, the most consistent impact of insomnia is a high risk of depression.

Sleep and quantitative EEG in neurodegenerative disorders
Dominique Petit,Jean-François Gagnon,Maria Livia Fantini,Luigi Ferini-Strambi,Jacques Montplaisir +4 more
TL;DR: Current knowledge on sleep problems, sleep architecture changes and quantitative EEG alteration brought on by various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, REM sleep behavior disorder, and dementia with Lewy bodies are reviewed.

Learned material content and acquisition level modulate cerebral reactivation during posttraining rapid-eye-movements sleep

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that REM sleep is deeply involved in the reprocessing and optimization of the high-order information contained in the material to be learned and provide the first experimental evidence for a link between behavioral performance and cerebral reactivation during REM sleep.
Frontal predominance of a relative increase in sleep delta and theta EEG activity after sleep loss in humans.
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the enhancement of slow wave EEG activity during sleep following extended wakefulness is most pronounced in frontal cortical areas.
