The paper examines how polygenic risk for Parkinson's disease relates to REM sleep metrics in young and late-midlife individuals, finding age-dependent associations.

This study examines how napping affects functional brain responses in older adults during a working memory task, finding differences in brain activity and performance between nappers and non-nappers.

This study examines the relationship between napping and circadian regulation of sleep in older adults, finding altered melatonin secretion and sleep patterns in nappers.

The paper investigates the association between brainstem myelin content and sleep parameters in healthy young men, finding significant links between myelin integrity and sleep quality metrics.

This study finds that higher locus coeruleus activity during wakefulness in older adults is linked to worse sleep quality and reduced theta band power during REM sleep.

The paper examines the link between spindle-slow wave coupling during sleep and early amyloid-β burden, finding it associated with memory decline in midlife individuals.

pyActigraphy provides an open-source Python package for actigraphy data visualization and analysis, including sleep detection and rest-activity rhythm quantification.

The paper compares visual and automatic sleep scoring methods to assess their reliability and variability in large datasets, finding that automatic scoring can be a reliable reference when reproducible.

The paper shows that preserved cortical excitability during wakefulness is linked to better cognitive performance in older adults, independent of brain structural changes.
