This study examines SO-spindle coupling in trauma-exposed individuals and finds it predicts fear extinction retention, with PTSD showing altered coupling dynamics.

This study links increased beta band spectral power during sleep to impaired recall of extinguished fear in both healthy individuals and PTSD patients.

The paper investigates how stress and sleep affect memory of a social stressor environment, finding that NREM sleep physiology, not stress reactivity, is linked to memory retention in non-stressed individuals.
