Longitudinal Alterations in Sleep EEG Biomarkers of Memory Consolidation in Middle-Aged and Older Adults

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.

Engagement in moderate-intensity physical activity supports overnight emotional memory retention in older adults

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.

Cerebrovascular pathology mediates associations between hypoxemia during rapid eye movement sleep and medial temporal lobe structure and function in older adults

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.

Medial temporal lobe functional network architecture supports sleep-related emotional memory processing 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.

Neuronal responses to focused ultrasound are gated by pre-stimulation brain rhythms

This study shows that amplitude-modulated tFUS reduces neuronal firing rate, while continuous-wave tFUS increases it, with effects influenced by baseline brain rhythms.

Differential effects of amplitude-modulated transcranial focused ultrasound on excitatory and inhibitory neurons

This study shows that amplitude-modulated transcranial focused ultrasound (AM-tFUS) differentially affects excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the rat hippocampus based on intensity.

Near-infrared light increases functional connectivity with a non-thermal mechanism

This study shows near-infrared light increases brain functional connectivity without causing thermal changes, suggesting a non-thermal mechanism for transcranial photobiomodulation.
