Sleep and Wakefulness Research

Sleep and Wakefulness Research is a research topic within Cognitive Neuroscience. Science Explorer counts 45k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the intricate relationship between sleep and memory, focusing on the role of hypocretin/orexin neurons, circadian rhythms, synaptic homeostasis, and narcolepsy. It delves into the mechanisms of memory consolidation during sleep, the impact of different sleep stages on memory formation, and the neural substrates underlying these processes.
