Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

This review summarizes the brain mechanisms controlling sleep and wakefulness.
Wakefulness promoting systems cause low-voltage, fast activity in the …

Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine, 5th Edition, by Meir H. Kryger, MD, FRCPC,
Thomas Roth, PhD, and William C. Dement, MD, PhD, delivers the comprehensive …

According to the two-process model of sleep regulation, the timing and structure of sleep are
determined by the interaction of a homeostatic and a circadian process. The original …

Humans show large inter-individual differences in organising their behaviour within the 24-h
day—this is most obvious in their preferred timing of sleep and wakefulness. Sleep and …

The past decade has seen an explosion of research on roles of neuron-astrocyte
interactions in the control of brain function. We highlight recent studies performed on the …

Astrocytes modulate neuronal activity by releasing chemical transmitters via a process
termed gliotransmission. The role of this process in the control of behavior is unknown …

Sleep is considered essential for the brain and body. A predominant concept is that sleep is
regulated by circadian rhythmicity and sleep homeostasis, processes that were posited to be …

INTRODUCTION Temporally consolidated behaviors such as sleep normally occur in
synchrony with endogenous circadian rhythms and both have been reported to contribute to …

Sleep is a fundamental biological process observed widely in the animal kingdom, but the
neural circuits generating sleep remain poorly understood. Understanding the brain …
