The paper investigates infraslow oscillations (ISO) in sleep and their potential link to Alzheimer's disease by analyzing EEG data and correlating ISO metrics with biomarkers.

This study shows that enhancing sleep through rocking reduces beta-amyloid levels and slows motor decline in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

This study shows that long-access heroin self-administration in rats reduces grey matter volume in specific brain regions and alters microglia morphology, suggesting a link between neuroinflammation and structural brain changes.

This study shows sleep loss impairs myelin function by disrupting cholesterol metabolism in oligodendrocytes, leading to conduction delays and motor deficits.

This study shows that adolescent sleep restriction increases adult alcohol consumption by promoting risky behavior, using both human epidemiological data and preclinical experiments.

The paper investigates how sleep and wake affect parallel fiber synapses in Purkinje cells, finding that sleep increases 'naked' spines and alters branched synapse dynamics.
