I thought that this would be a good occasion to look back at our history, as we did in 1997 on the occasion of our 25th anniversary. The initial plan to “just” update the first book was soon replaced by the idea of offering a more detailed reflection on the history, present and future of the ESRS and more generally of sleep research and sleep medicine. The book is structured into four parts. The first part offers a review of the history of the ESRS, its congresses, presidents and journal. The second part is composed of 15 “mini-reviews” on the past, present and future of specific areas of sleep medicine and sleep research. The third part is devoted to nine founders – and their schools – of sleep research in Europe. In the fourth final part the 29 European National Sleep Societies present themselves in terms of history, structure and activities. The contents of the book are rounded up by a contribution by the ESRS board and the Chief Editor of JSR on future perspectives of sleep research and sleep medicine in Europe and by a historical photo collection. This book has turned out to be a great team effort with contributions from 72 authors, including six ESRS presidents, three chief editors of the Journal of Sleep Research, and 29 presidents of European National Sleep Societies. Two people have had a fundamental role in the production of the book. Hartmut Schulz has been involved in the review process and proofreading of all the chapters. Brigitte Knobl has coordinated the entire editorial management of the book including the communication between authors and editors, as well as the review and production processes. Without their careful, patient and efficient work this book would not have been finalised. Special thanks also goes to Jim Horne (review process), Ludger Grote (coordination of the contributions of the National Sleep Societies), Thomas Pollmächer and Lino Nobili. Anna Wirz- Justice and Peter Achermann were kind enough to send several pictures of ESRS members and events they had collected over the years. It is my hope that reading (and looking at) this book will not only bring back pleasant memories to those whom have lived (parts) of this history but also sharpen the look of those who will make the future of our Society and the field of sleep research and sleep medicine. Claudio Bassetti Bern, Switzerland August 2012 5 6 Future Perspectives The Future of Sleep Research Today, only in a few (mostly academic) European centres do basic sleep research and multidisciplinary sleep medicine and Sleep Medicine in Europe: activities co-exist and interact “under the same roof”.

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.

  • 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.

However, his original 1909 monograph is not widely read by neurologists. Furthermore, he reproduced his maps in 1910 and 1914 with a number of important changes. The 1914 version also excludes areas 12-16 and 48-51 in human brain while areas 1-52 are described in animal brain. Here, we provide a detailed explanation of the different versions, and review Brodmann's academic profile and work.

Recently I developed a passion for the design of charts and diagrams and enjoy looking through books on infographics. The design of visual information has made remarkable progress in recent years. Furthermore, figures, tables, and graphic records are on the agenda at every editorial meeting of Brain And Nerve. The maps of Korbinian Brodmann (1868-1918) were first published in German in 19091, and I believe they rightly belongs to infographics since they localise neuroanatomical information onto human and animal brain – monkey, for example – using the techniques of histology and comparative anatomy. Unlike the cerebellar cortex, which has a generally uniform three-layer structure throughout, most of the cerebral cortex has a six-layer structure of regionally diverse patterns.
