The beneficial effects of green tea on sleep deprivation-induced cognitive deficits in rats: the involvement of hippocampal antioxidant defense by Fatemeh Forouzanfar, Jamileh Gholami, Maryam Foroughnia, Bahareh Payvar, Saeideh Nemati, Mohammad Amin Khodadadegan, Mahsa Saheb, Vahid Hajali

“…Background: The weight of evidence suggests that sleep is essential for the processes of memory consolidation and sleep deprivation (SD) impairs the retention of long-term memory in both humans and experimental animals, which is associated with oxidative stress damage within the brain. …”

Reliability of Family Dogs’ Sleep Structure Scoring Based on Manual and Automated Sleep Stage Identification by Anna Gergely, Orsolya Kiss, Vivien Reicher, Ivaylo Iotchev, Enikő Kovács, Ferenc Gombos, András Benczúr, Ágoston Galambos, József Topál, Anna Kis

“…While functional parallels have been described relating to both affective (e.g., emotion processing) and cognitive (e.g., memory consolidation) domains, methodologically relevant questions about the reliability of sleep stage scoring still need to be addressed. …”

Timing of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with speech and language therapy (SLT) for aphasia: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial by Sameer A. Ashaie, Samantha Engel, Leora R. Cherney

“…Transcranial direct current stimulation provided immediately before speech-language therapy may prime the language system whereas stimulation provided immediately after speech-language therapy may aid in memory consolidation. The main aim of this study is to investigate the differential effects of offline and online transcranial direct stimulation on language recovery (i.e., conversation) in post-stroke aphasia. …”

Dancing or Fitness Sport? The Effects of Two Training Programs on Hippocampal Plasticity and Balance Abilities in Healthy Seniors by Kathrin Rehfeld, Kathrin Rehfeld, Patrick Müller, Patrick Müller, Norman Aye, Norman Aye, Marlen Schmicker, Milos Dordevic, Milos Dordevic, Jörn Kaufmann, Anita Hökelmann, Notger G. Müller, Notger G. Müller, Notger G. Müller

“…However, neuroplasticity is known to be preserved throughout lifespan and physical training studies with seniors could reveal volume increases in the hippocampus (HC), a region crucial for memory consolidation, learning and navigation in space, which were related to improvements in aerobic fitness. …”

Using MEG to Understand the Progression of Light Sleep and the Emergence and Functional Roles of Spindles and K-Complexes by Andreas A. Ioannides, Lichan Liu, Vahe Poghosyan, Vahe Poghosyan, George K. Kostopoulos

“…This is consistent with processes designed to ensure accurate and uncorrupted memory consolidation. The changes during KCs suggest a sentinel role: evaluation of the salience of provoking events to decide whether to increase processing and possibly wake up, or to actively inhibit further processing of intruding influences. …”

Subiculum as a generator of sharp wave-ripples in the rodent hippocampus by Barbara Imbrosci, Noam Nitzan, Sam McKenzie, José R. Donoso, Aarti Swaminathan, Claudia Böhm, Nikolaus Maier, Dietmar Schmitz

“…Summary: Sharp wave-ripples (SWRs) represent synchronous discharges of hippocampal neurons and are believed to play a major role in memory consolidation. A large body of evidence suggests that SWRs are exclusively generated in the CA3-CA2 network. …”

Accelerated long-term forgetting in transient epileptic amnesia: an acquisition or consolidation deficit? by Hoefeijzers, S, Dewar, M, Della Sala, S, Zeman, A, Butler, C
