Human sleep is considered a global phenomenon, orchestrated by central specialized neuronal networks modulating the whole-brain activity. However, recent studies point to a local regulation of sleep. Sleep disorders, such as sleepwalking, suggest that electroencephalographic (EEG) features of sleep and wakefulness might be simultaneously...

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the periodicity of leg movement activity emerging during sleep in a group of patients with spinal cord injury and to evaluate their pathophysiological features. Methods: Twenty patients (16 males, mean age 34.0. years) with traumatic spinal cord lesions were recruited (5 cervical, 15...

Converging data that attribute a central role to sleep in memory consolidation have increased the interest to understand the characteristics of the hippocampal sleep and their relations with the processing of new information. Neural synchronization between different brain regions is thought to be implicated in long-term memory consolidation by...
