Thesis
Cortical slow oscillations, synaptic plasticity and network synchronization
- Abstract:
-
Despite many decades of research, the functions of sleep and the neural processes at play are still incompletely understood. Amongst the most studied aspects of sleep, especially deep sleep, are its beneficial effects on memory consolidation and cognition, which are thought to involve synaptic plasticity. While different views on the underlying mechanisms exist, one prominent theory (the synaptic homeostasis theory) proposes that sleep is critical for the renormalisation of synaptic connec...
