  • Sleep-Dependent Consolidation of Motor Skills in Patients with Narcolepsy-Cataplexy
    Archives Italiennes de Biologie, 150: 185-193, 2012. Sleep-dependent consolidation of motor skills in patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy M. MAZZETTI1, G. PLAZZI2, C. CAMPI1, A. CICCHELLA1, K. MATTAROZZI1, G. TUOZZI1, S. VANDI2, L. VIGNATELLI3, C. CIPOLLI1 1 Department of Psychology, University of Bologna, Italy; 2 Department of Neurological Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy; 3 City of Bologna Local Health Trust, Bologna, Italy A bstract Background and Objectives: This study investigated whether the altered organization of post-training sleep in patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy (NC) is associated with a lower off-line improvement in the consolidation of motor skills compared with normal subjects. Study Design: Fourteen drug-naive NC patients, fulfilling the international clinical and polysomnographic diag- nostic criteria, and 14 individually-matched controls underwent training at a sequential finger tapping task (FTT) and were re-tested on the next morning (after a night with polysomnographic recording) and after another six nights (spent at home). Setting: Training and retrieval sessions were performed in a controlled laboratory setting. Results: FTT performance was worse in NC patients than controls at training and at both retrieval sessions and showed a fairly different time course (slower than in controls) of consolidation. Several sleep indices (lower values of stage-2 NREM sleep and SWS) were compatible with a lower effectiveness of sleep for consolidation of motor skills in NC patients, although no statistically significant relationship was found between such indices and improve- ment rate. Conclusion: The consolidation process of motor skills results less effective in NC patients since training and slower than in normal subjects over the week following training.

  • Increased Sleep Need and Daytime Sleepiness 6 Months After
    doi:10.1093/brain/awu391 BRAIN 2015: 138; 726–735 | 726 Increased sleep need and daytime sleepiness 6 months after traumatic brain injury: a prospective controlled clinical trial Lukas L. Imbach,1 Philipp O. Valko,1 Tongzhou Li,1 Angelina Maric,1 Evangelia-Regkina Symeonidou,1 John F. Stover,2 Claudio L. Bassetti,3 Ladislav Mica,2 Esther Werth1 and Christian R. Baumann1 Post-traumatic sleep-wake disturbances are common after acute traumatic brain injury. Increased sleep need per 24 h and excessive daytime sleepiness are among the most prevalent post-traumatic sleep disorders and impair quality of life of trauma patients. Nevertheless, the relation between traumatic brain injury and sleep outcome, but also the link between post-traumatic sleep problems and clinical measures in the acute phase after traumatic brain injury has so far not been addressed in a controlled and prospective approach. We therefore performed a prospective controlled clinical study to examine (i) sleep-wake outcome after traumatic brain injury; and (ii) to screen for clinical and laboratory predictors of poor sleep-wake outcome after acute traumatic brain injury. Forty-two of 60 included patients with first-ever traumatic brain injury were available for follow-up examinations. Six months after trauma, the average sleep need per 24 h as assessed by actigraphy was markedly increased in patients as compared to controls (8.3 Æ 1.1 h versus 7.1 Æ 0.8 h, P 5 0.0001). Objective daytime sleepiness was found in 57% of trauma patients and 19% of healthy subjects, and the average sleep latency in patients was reduced to 8.7 Æ 4.6 min (12.1 Æ 4.7 min in controls, P=0.0009).

  • Elaborative Encoding, the Ancient Art of Memory, and the Hippocampus
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2013) 36, 589–659 provided by RERO DOC Digital Library doi:10.1017/S0140525X12003135 Such stuff as dreams are made on? Elaborative encoding, the ancient art of memory, and the hippocampus Sue Llewellyn Faculty of Humanities, University of Manchester, Manchester M15 6PB, United Kingdom http://www.humanities.manchester.ac.uk [email protected] Abstract: This article argues that rapid eye movement (REM) dreaming is elaborative encoding for episodic memories. Elaborative encoding in REM can, at least partially, be understood through ancient art of memory (AAOM) principles: visualization, bizarre association, organization, narration, embodiment, and location. These principles render recent memories more distinctive through novel and meaningful association with emotionally salient, remote memories. The AAOM optimizes memory performance, suggesting that its principles may predict aspects of how episodic memory is configured in the brain. Integration and segregation are fundamental organizing principles in the cerebral cortex. Episodic memory networks interconnect profusely within the cortex, creating omnidirectional “landmark” junctions. Memories may be integrated at junctions but segregated along connecting network paths that meet at junctions. Episodic junctions may be instantiated during non–rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep after hippocampal associational function during REM dreams. Hippocampal association involves relating, binding, and integrating episodic memories into a mnemonic compositional whole. This often bizarre, composite image has not been present to the senses; it is not “real” because it hyperassociates several memories. During REM sleep, on the phenomenological level, this composite image is experienced as a dream scene.

    © Copyright 2013 Shervin S. Churchill Sleep and Activity Patterns of Children with Down Syndrome in Relation to Sleep Disordered Breathing Shervin S. Churchill A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Gail M. Kieckhefer, Chair Teresa M. Ward Kristie F. Bjornson Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Nursing University of Washington Abstract Sleep and Activity Patterns of Children with Down Syndrome in Relation to Sleep Disordered Breathing Shervin S. Churchill Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Gail M. Kieckhefer Department of Family and Child Nursing Background and purpose: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a major health problem in children with Down syndrome (DS), and may adversely affect not only health, but also accomplishment of life’s daily activities and habits. Obesity is a known risk factor of SDB in the general population, but in children with DS there have been conflicting reports on the role of obesity in SDB. The goal of this dissertation is to: 1) review the current state of knowledge in sleep of children with DS; 2) describe sleep patterns, and examine the relationship of sleep disturbances, including SDB, with the accomplishment of daily life habits; and 3) describe activity patterns, and evaluate the relationships between SDB, sleep duration, obesity and physical activity (PA) in a sample of children with DS. Methods: A review of the English language literature between 1960 and 2012 was completed, studies were described and synthesized. An Internet sample of 139 parents of children ages 5 to 18 years (110 parents of children with DS, 29 parents of children with typical development [TD]), completed a 45-minute online survey.

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea in a Train Engineer
    Fatal Consequences: Obstructive Sleep Apnea in a Train Engineer Mary Pat McKay, MD, MPH ABSTRACT National Transportation Safetey Board, This special report describes the findings of the National Transportation Safety Washington, DC Board’s investigation into the probable cause of the derailment of a Metro-North passenger train in the Bronx, New York on December 1, 2013, that resulted in 4 deaths and injuries to 59 additional persons. A key finding in the medical inves- tigation was the engineer’s post-accident diagnosis of severe, obstructive sleep apnea, and the probable cause of the accident was determined to be the result of the engineer having fallen asleep while operating the train. This accident high- lights the importance of screening, evaluating, and ensuring adequate treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, particularly among patients working in positions where impairment of physical or cognitive function or sudden incapacitation may result in serious harm to the public. Ann Fam Med 2015;13:583-586. doi: 10.1370/afm.1868. BACKGROUND he National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency charged with determining the probable cause of Ttransportation accidents and promoting transportation safety. The NTSB is not a regulatory agency; instead, it issues safety recommenda- tions to a variety of entities asking for actions that could prevent a similar accident from happening in the future. The Accident and Medical Investigation At 7:19 AM on Sunday, December 1, 2013, a Metro-North Railroad pas- senger train derailed near the Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx, New York. The train’s event recorder data indicated it was traveling at 82 mph when it derailed at a curved area of track with a speed limit of 30 mph.
