Sleep loss alters synaptic and intrinsic neuronal properties in mouse prefrontal cortex
Control of sleep and wakefulness.
TLDR
Genetic studies suggest that brain mechanisms controlling waking and NREM sleep are strongly conserved throughout evolution, underscoring their enormous importance for brain function.
The dreaming sleep stage: A new neurobiological model of schizophrenia?
The Neural Basis of Interindividual Variability in Inhibitory Efficiency after Sleep Deprivation
TLDR
Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to study the neural correlates of sleep deprivation-induced differences in inhibitory efficiency and individuals better able to maintain inhibitoryefficiency after sleep deprivation could be distinguished by lower stop-related, phasic activation of the right ventral PFC during rested wakefulness.
Testing the involvement of the prefrontal cortex in lucid dreaming: A tDCS study
The relationship between cognitive ability and BOLD activation across sleep–wake states
TLDR
Findings provide evidence that the relationship between sleep and intellectual abilities exists beyond sleep spindles, and activity in bilateral postcentral gyri and occipital lobe was positively correlated with short-term memory abilities during wake.

Frontal beta-theta network during REM sleep
TLDR
Analysis of intracranial electrode data from humans demonstrates for the first time that there are prominent beta and theta oscillations in both the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the DLPFC during REM sleep, and suggests that, counter to current prevailing thought, the D LPFC is active duringREM sleep and likely interacting with other areas.
Nocturnal oscillations: Understanding the brain through sleep
TLDR
The three experiments presented in the thesis shed light on the nature of neural network modulations caused by ongoing oscillatory activity, and bridge the gap between electrophysiological and haemodynamic findings of sleep-dependent information processing.

Sleep deprivation-induced reduction in cortical functional response to serial subtraction.
TLDR
Data from the serial subtraction task are consistent with Horne's PFC vulnerability hypothesis but, based on this and other studies, it is suggested the localized, functional effects of SD in the brain may vary, in part, with the specific cognitive task.
Functional neuroanatomy of human rapid-eye-movement sleep and dreaming
TLDR
A group study of seven subjects who maintained steady REM sleep during brain scanning and recalled dreams upon awakening shows that regional cerebral blood flow is positively correlated with REM sleep in pontine tegmentum, left thalamus, both amygdaloid complexes, anterior cingulate cortex and right parietal operculum.

Dreaming and the brain: Toward a cognitive neuroscience of conscious states
TLDR
A three-dimensional model with specific examples from normally and abnormally changing conscious states of REM sleep dreaming is presented, suggesting that there are isomorphisms between the phenomenology and the physiology of dreams.
Neural basis of alertness and cognitive performance impairments during sleepiness. I. Effects of 24 h of sleep deprivation on waking human regional brain activity
TLDR
Evidence is provided that short‐term sleep deprivation produces global decreases in brain activity, with larger reductions in activity in the distributed cortico‐thalamic network mediating attention and higher‐order cognitive processes, and is complementary to studies demonstrating deactivation of these cortical regions during NREM and REM sleep.

Functional Neuroanatomy of Human Slow Wave Sleep
TLDR
The results show that rCBF is decreased more in some cortical areas (especially in orbitofrontal cortex) than in the rest of the cortex, and it is hypothesize that cellular processes taking place during SWS might be modulated differently in these regions.
Activity of Midbrain Reticular Formation and Neocortex during the Progression of Human Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep
TLDR
Selective deactivation of heteromodal association cortices, including those related to language, occurs with increasingly deep NREM sleep, which supports the recent theory that sleep is not a global, but it is a local process of the brain.

Sleep deprivation affects speech.
TLDR
There was a significant reduction in the subjects' use of appropriate intonation in the voice after SD, with subjects displaying more monotonic or flattened voices.
