REM sleep and dreaming: towards a theory of protoconsciousness (2009, background): “The most convincing evidence of sleep function comes from the experiments of Allan Rechtschaffen and colleague”
Network physiology reveals relations between network topology and physiological function (2012, background): “During NREM sleep adjacent cortical neurons fire synchronously with a relatively low frequency rhythm [30] leading to coher-”
Causal evidence for the role of REM sleep theta rhythm in contextual memory consolidation (2016, background): “Patients display a heterogeneous range of brain impairments that compromise motor, visual, hearing, and cognitive functions (1).”
REM Sleep Reorganizes Hippocampal Excitability (2012, neutral): “Although sleep is a fundamental physiological process, no overarching hypothesis has emerged to explain its functions (Siegel, 2005).”
Working in our sleep (2012, background): “Indeed, rats die about as quickly from sleep deprivation as they do from starvation (Greenspan, Tononi, Cirelli, & Shaw, 2001); although such an experiment has not been replicated in humans, there are many similarities in sleep across different species of mammals (Siegel, 2005).”
Rhythms of the brain (2006, background): “(2004) and Silberberg et al. (2004) for related observations in the neocortex.”
SeqSleepNet: End-to-End Hierarchical Recurrent Neural Network for Sequence-to-Sequence Automatic Sleep Staging (2018, neutral): “Humans spend around one-third of their lives sleeping, this process is crucial to protect the mental and physical health of an individual [1].”
Lack of sleep and unethical conduct (2011, background): “Sleep physiologists define sleep as a state of immobility with greatly reduced responsiveness, distinguishable from a coma or anesthesia by its rapid reversibility (Siegel, 2005).”
How (and why) the immune system makes us sleep (2009, neutral): “Why is sleep altered during sickness? Sleep is clearly adaptive and much effort has been directed at determining its function”
The Glymphatic System – A Beginner's Guide (2015, neutral): “Multiple studies indicating that sleep enhances memory consolidation, which could be important for competition amongst species [74–77], however, the basic biological need for sleep is unclear [78].”
Sleep and Athletic Performance: The Effects of Sleep Loss on Exercise Performance, and Physiological and Cognitive Responses to Exercise (2015, background): “Comparatively, theories of REM sleep have suggested a role for this state in periodic brain activation, localized recuperative processes, and emotional regulation [44].”
Sleep oscillations in the thalamocortical system induce long-term neuronal plasticity (2012, neutral): “Recent advances propose that a major role of sleep is memory consolidation (Diekelmann and Born, 2010; Maquet, 2001; Siegel, 2005).”
