Sleep spindles are burstlike signals in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the slee**
mammalian brain and electrical surface correlates of neuronal oscillations in thalamus. As …

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 …

Creative thought relies on the reorganisation of existing knowledge. Sleep is known to be
important for creative thinking, but there is a debate about which sleep stage is most …

A re-emergence of research on EEG-neurofeedback followed controlled evidence of clinical
benefits and validation of cognitive/affective gains in healthy participants including …

Clear associations of sleep, cognitive performance, and behavioral problems have been
demonstrated in meta-analyses of studies in adults. This meta-analysis is the first to …

Until recently, the electrophysiological mechanisms involved in strengthening new
memories into a more permanent form during sleep have been largely unknown. The sleep …

BACKGROUND: Sleep spindles are thought to induce synaptic changes and thereby
contribute to memory consolidation during sleep. Patients with schizophrenia show dramatic …

Sleep spindle activity has been associated with improvements in procedural and declarative
memory. Here, for the first time, we looked at the role of spindles in the integration of newly …

Despite the fact that midday naps are characteristic of early childhood, very little is
understood about the structure and function of these sleep bouts. Given that sleep benefits …

Sleep spindles are extensively studied electroencephalographic rhythms that recur
periodically during non–rapid eye movement sleep and that are associated with rhythmic …
