Studies of Sleep and Memory in Humans
Fig. 1 Functional neuroanatomy of SWS and REM sleep. Brain sections showing brain areas where regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was negatively correlated with the density of slow oscillations (delta power)…
NEUROLOGY
and Adult Neurogenesis: Implications for Cognition and Mood
Fig. 1 Overview of adult hippocampal neurogenesis: summary of five developmental stages during adult hippocampal neurogenesis. 1 Activation of quiescent radial glia-like cell in the subgranular zone (SGZ). 2 Proliferation of…
Caffeine, and Performance: From Cognitive Neuroscience of Sleep to Sleep Pharmacogenetics
Fig. 1 Overview and simplified global classification of the main cognitive processes. See (Schmidt et al. 2007) for more detailed explanations Most studies on the circadian modulation of cognitive function have…
and Emotional Functions
Fig. 1 Functional neuroanatomy of human REM sleep. Brain regions more activated during REM sleep are indicated with an upward red arrow, and those less activated are indicated with a downward…
and Synaptic Plasticity in the Developing and Adult Brain
Fig. 1 Ocular dominance plasticity in the cat requires protein synthesis during sleep. a In developing cats with normal vision, most neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) are binocular (i.e.,…
Treatment of Sleep Disorders and Its Relationship with Neuroplasticity
Fig. 1 Key components of the ascending arousal system. Cholinergic (ACh) inputs from the pedunculopontine (PPT) and laterodorsal tegmental (LDT) nuclei to the relay and reticular nuclei of the thalamus (yellow…
Control of Hypocretin (Orexin) Neurons and Arousal Circuits
Fig. 1 Schematic of a mouse implanted with optical fibers connected with blue and yellow lasers for combinatorial optogenetic interrogations (Carter et al. 2012) Optogenetics provided the ideal tools to interrogate…
Dissection of Sleep Homeostasis
Fig. 1 Genetic approaches used in sleep homeostasis research. For each of these approaches, different techniques can be employed in different animal species to bring information about the involvement of genes…
Bird’s Eye View of Sleep-Dependent Memory Consolidation
Fig. 1 Starling sleep. A 40-s trace of EEG and EOG recordings from a sleeping starling is shown. The first ~10 s of the EEG signal shows low-frequency, high-amplitude waves characteristic of…
and Electrophysiological Correlates of Sleep and Sleep Homeostasis
Fig. 1 a Detailed 3 s electroencephalographic records with specific features visible during certain sleep stages in humans with (from top to bottom), Beta-activity during active waking, alpha activity during waking with…
