Across four samples of children, adolescents, and young adults, age-related higher similarity of dominant, development-specific fast sleep spindles and adult-like fast sleep spindles is uniquely related to stronger and more precise slow oscillation-sleep spindle coupling.

A phase-based analysis reveals wave-like spatiotemporal organization of the human sleep spindle, a brain oscillation critical to sleep-dependent memory consolidation, and elucidates its role in coordinating activity of neural networks distributed across the cortex.

A novel analytical framework for investigation of simultaneously occurring brain oscillations (from either single or multiple brain areas) and how it modulates the underlying neuronal population during sleep and wakefulness (or other behavioral tasks).

An individualized cross-frequency coupling approach identified slow oscillation-spindle coupling strength as a novel mechanism that mediates memory formation during cortical maturation.

Oscillations that co-occur in hippocampal CA1 during exploration in the rodent are shown to segregate according to exploratory and sleep states in the primate.

Sigma oscillations have a dual role in motor memory consolidation depending on their temporal coordination with slow waves during post-learning sleep.

A computational model of the thalamocortical network explains sleep stages by the coordinated variations in the level of neuromodulators and predicts differences of sleep pattern in human, cat and mouse recordings.

The study of sleep following monocular deprivation has shown that sleep slow oscillations and spindles occurring during non-REM sleep have a role in homeostatic ocular dominance plasticity even in the adulthood, beyond synaptic homeostatic hypothesis that applies to Hebbian phenomena.

Individualized cross-frequency analyses reveal regionally specific slow oscillation–sleep spindle coupling precision as predictor for gross-motor learning dynamics.

A neural circuit that can selectively induce sleep-like patterns in small regions of the brain demonstrates how sleep and arousal states may be controlled in local brain regions.
