Conscious memory for a new experience is initially dependent on information stored in both
the hippocampus and neocortex. Systems consolidation is the process by which the …

Sleep is strongly involved in memory consolidation, but its role remains unclear.'Sleep
replay', the active potentiation of relevant synaptic connections via reactivation of patterns of …

Over the years, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep has been associated with general memory
consolidation, specific consolidation of perceptual, procedural, emotional and fear …

A survey is given of recent results concerning particle-size dependences of the optical
plasma resonance absorption and of the FIR absorption of small noble metal particles. It is …

Using the simple model of electrons in a box, a dielectric function is derived which should be
appropriate for small metal particles. This dielectric function is used to examine quantum …

Sleep quality has significant effects on cognitive performance and is influenced by multiple
factors such as stress. Contrary to the ideal, medical students and residents suffer from sleep …

The benefit of sleep in general for memory consolidation is well known. The relevance of
sleep characteristics and the influence of hormones are not well studied. We explored the …

An explicit expression for the complex optical and AC conductivity of a homogeneous BCS
superconductor with arbitrary electron mean free path is given. This compact expression and …

Abstract Study Objectives: The effects of REM sleep and slow wave sleep (SWS) deprivation
on sleep-dependent motor and declarative memory consolidation. Design: Randomized …

Background Overnight memory consolidation is disturbed in both depression and
schizophrenia, creating an ideal situation to investigate the mechanisms underlying sleep …
