Emerging studies across learning domains have shed light on mechanisms underlying
sleep's benefits during numerous developmental periods. In this conceptual review, we …

Sleep supports healthy cognitive functioning in adults. Over the past decade, research has
emerged advancing our understanding of sleep's role in cognition during development …

The transition from multiple sleep bouts each day to a single overnight sleep bout (ie, nap
transition) is a universal process in human development. Naps are important during infancy …

Abstract The ongoing Chinese Color Nest Project (CCNP) was established to create
normative charts for brain structure and function across the human lifespan, and link age …

Sleep disorders have been linked to alterations of gut microbiota composition in adult
humans and animal models, but it is unclear how this link develops. With longitudinal …

Unhealthy dietary choices are associated with poor sleep in children through adults. Yet,
how diet and sleep are related in early childhood, when diet is reliant on parent choices …

The human hippocampus (Hc) is critical for memory function across the lifespan. It is
comprised of cytoarchitectonically distinct subfields: dentate gyrus (DG), cornu ammonis …

Sleep supports memory processing. In adults, memories are consolidated to a greater extent
over an interval of sleep than over intervals spent awake. Behavioral evidence supports a …

Daytime nap** contributes to retention of new word learning in children. Importantly,
children transition out of regular nap** between ages 3–5 years, and the impact of this …

This systematic review surveyed research on the associations between sleep and the
memory processes involved in word learning in infancy. We found only 16 studies that …
