🔔PREPRINT: Sleep ripples drive single-neuron reactivation for human memory consolidation 1/9: How does sleep support human memory consolidation? To test this, we recorded hundreds of neurons in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) across learning, wakefulness, and sleep. doi.org/10.64898/202...

Our research shows that disrupted sleep after stroke can negatively impact rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life in stroke survivors. Read the full paper in Nature Scientific Reports: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out our new paper! We evaluate what we know (and don't know) about the link between memory consolidation during sleep and next-day learning 👇

How does our brain learn that thunder follows lightning? We don't just remember two separate events; we build a predictive model to anticipate the world. My research dives into this very question: how we learn and predict the order of events. 🧵👇 1/9 #neuroscience #memory #sleep

Congrats to our amazing postdoc @mskehl.bsky.social for their fantastic talk at the REPLAY conference in Cardiff! 🧠 Their work on "Human ripples facilitate memory consolidation by reactivating learning-related neurons" sparked many great discussions. Proud lab cheering him on!

I’m looking for a postdoc and RA for an ERC-funded project “SLEEPAWAY: Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep”. You’ll use MEG/EEG and fMRI to understand how the sleeping brain remembers and forgets. PLEASE REPOST 😊 Postdoc: tinyurl.com/vr5thp7s RA: tinyurl.com/ycyzkatc

📣 New paper alert! 📣 🔎 The RISES Study looked at the sleep regularity index in stroke survivors compared to people who haven't had a stroke. 🔗 See a summary of our findings in our infographic below, and find the full paper here: rdcu.be/emZ09 @oxcin.bsky.social @ndcnoxford.bsky.social

An infographic summarising the methods and findings of the RISES Study. Images of stars, the moon, and people sleeping with text as follows.
Summary: Sleep regularity is disturbed post-stroke, and may influence well-being. Sleep regularity: The sleep regularity index compares sleep state (i.e. sleep or wake) at time points across different days, giving a score of sleep regularity. Less regular sleep has been associated with increased health risks. Population: Data was used from 162 stroke survivors, and 60 controls who had not had a stroke. Methods: Sleep was assessed using a sleep watch, worn at home for a minimum of 5 days, and a questionnaire about subjective sleep quality. The stroke group also completed questionnaires for depression, disability, and quality of life. Findings: Stroke survivors had significantly lower sleep regularity compared to the control group. In the stroke survivor group less regular sleep was associated with worse depression scores, and more regular sleep was associated with higher reports of quality of life. Implications: This study has identified the usefulness of using sleep regularity as a metric for post-stroke sleep research. The findings highlight a potential target for improving post-stroke quality of life. Funding: Funding: Wellcome Trust, and Oxford Health BRC.
