This study examines longitudinal changes in sleep EEG biomarkers of memory consolidation in middle-aged and older adults, finding declines in SO-sigma coupling and sleep spindle measures linked to synaptic integrity and memory decline.

This study finds that moderate-intensity physical activity improves overnight emotional memory retention in older adults, with benefits from both frequency and duration of activity.

The paper shows cerebrovascular pathology mediates the link between REM sleep hypoxemia and entorhinal cortical thickness, which is associated with impaired memory in older adults.

This study examines how network integration and centrality in the medial temporal lobe during NREM sleep relate to emotional memory retention in older adults.
