Replay in Deep Learning: Current Approaches and Missing Biological Elements (2021, neutral): “The frequency of spiking during spindles is well suited for initiating STDP (Sejnowski & Destexhe, 2000).”
Is Sleep Essential? (2008, background): “Consolidation may happen, for instance, by further strengthening synapses already potentiated during wakefulness [103,105,106].”
Positive health: connecting well-being with biology. (2004, background): “Such findings augment the literature documenting links between sleep and morbidity and mortality (Moore et al. 2002; Drew et al. 2003; Sephton & Spiegel 2003) but, importantly, point to possible psychosocial antecedents to good sleep.”
The Role of Sleep in Cognition and Emotion (2009, background): “…a number of reports have also described an association between learning and the hallmark feature of stage-2 NREM: sleep spindles; short (∼1 s) synchronous bursts of activity expressed in the EEG in the 10– 16 Hz frequency range (Sejnowski & Destexhe 2000; Steriade 2001; Smith et al. 2004).”
Dissociating the past from the present in the activity of place cells (2006, background): “During slow-wave sleep the hippocampus shows sharpwave-ripple complexes, fast (140–200 Hz) oscillations in field potential recordings superimposed on a slow field potential transient (Csicsvari et al., 1999; Sejnowski and Destexhe, 2000 for review).”
Practice with sleep makes perfect: sleep-dependent motor skill learning. (2002, unknown): “(Sejnowski and Destexhe, 2000).”
Impact of network activities on neuronal properties in corticothalamic systems. (2001, background): “The slow oscillation was also recorded, with the same characteristics as initially d scribed in animals, using magnetic (MEG) recordings during natural sleep in humans (Simon et al. 2000).”
Are spatial memories strengthened in the human hippocampus during slow wave sleep? (2004, unknown): “Spindles vation observed during SWS in individual subjects correin neocortical areas (Sejnowski and Destexhe, 2000; Sialates with the overnight improvement of their perforpas and Wilson, 1998), as well as the neocortical-hippomance in route retrieval.”
Daytime Naps, Motor Memory Consolidation and Regionally Specific Sleep Spindles (2007, background): “Considering sleep spindles – a defining electrophysiological signature of NREM involving short (,1 ) synchronous burst of activity (12–15 Hz) – may represent candidate triggers of synaptic potentiation leading to neural plasticity [10–12], and that spindle activity is highest late in the night [13],”
Plasticity during Sleep Is Linked to Specific Regulation of Cortical Circuit Activity (2017, background): “…are expected, via increasing Ca2+ in pyramidal cells, to be especially effective in inducing persisting plastic synaptic changes that underlie the formation of consolidated memory presentations in neocortical networks (Sejnowski and Destexhe, 2000; Ruch et al., 2012; Latouchmane et al., 2017).”
