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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The memory function of sleep

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

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.

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.

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.

Timing is everything: does the robust upregulation of noradrenergically regulated plasticity genes underlie the rapid antidepressant effects of sleep deprivation?

TL;DR: Activating the norepinephrine system during REM sleep (by infusing an alpha(2) antagonist) may allow an interaction with a primed, sensitized postsynaptic milieu, thereby rapidly increasing the expression of plasticity genes and consequently a rapid antidepressant response.

Slow oscillations of plasma glucose and insulin secretion rate are amplified during sleep in humans under continuous enteral nutrition.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increased amplitude of glucose and insulin secretion rate oscillations is related to sleep rather than to the time of day, without any associated frequency variations.

Memory processing during human sleep as assessed by functional neuroimaging.

TL;DR: Functional neuroimaging data suggest a role for sleep in the processing of recent memory traces, including changes in regional brain activity occur during post-training sleep and do not involve isolated brain areas but entire macroscopic cerebral networks.

Prediction of the antidepressant response to total sleep-deprivation of depressed-patients - longitudinal versus single day assessment of diurnal mood variation

TL;DR: The relationship between diurnal variation of mood and the clinical response to total sleep deprivation (TSD) was investigated in 43 depressed patients and the interrelatedness of various measures of diurnal variations, such as amplitudes and frequencies of positive or negative diurnal mood changes, was studied.
