These findings provide insight into a potential mechanism underlying the heterogeneity in the insomnia-cognition literature; whether older adults have a distinct active and sleep period may be a determinant of whether cognitive impairments arise!

Some key highlights:

💤 Older adults with insomnia exhibited dampened RARs with greater activity during the rest period

🧠 More robust and stable RARs were associated with better attention performance, irrespective of insomnia diagnosis

<em>Journal of Sleep Research</em> | ESRS Journal | Wiley Online Library Insomnia is associated with risk for cognitive deficits. However, the literature assessing cognitive impairments in insomnia is replete with conflicting findings; it is unclear whether individuals wi...

📣 Excited to share our new short report published in JSR! We examined whether older adults with insomnia exhibited differences in rest-activity rhythms (RARs) and cognition, and whether RARs were associated with cognition across domains

Individual differences in medial temporal lobe functional network architecture predict the capacity for sleep-related consolidation of emotional memories in older adults AbstractStudy Objectives. Memory consolidation during non-rapid eye movement slow wave sleep (NREM SWS) involves reactivation of a hippocampal index which

Very excited to share the final publication from my dissertation! Using a graph theory approach, we found that differences in medial temporal lobe functional network organization were tied to memory processing and sleep oscillations implicated in consolidation!

Thank you!

Thanks so much Matt! Means a lot! 😊

I Fell Asleep While Driving, Which Led to This Diagnosis This health condition is often overlooked in women.

Over the past few years, I’ve shared my personal journey as a sleep scientist living with sleep apnea with other scientists and students to raise awareness and reduce stigma. I’m excited to reach an even broader audience in my recent interview with Parade 🎉

Engagement in moderate-intensity physical activity supports overnight memory retention in older adults - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Engagement in moderate-intensity physical activity supports overnight memory retention in older adults

Now out in Sci Rep! We found that physical activity was associated with better memory consolidation during sleep and that theoretically replacing 30m of lower intensity activity with moderate intensity physical activity yielded a significant consolidation benefit!

Would love to be added please!

📢 New preprint! We used network neuroscience techniques to probe central tenets of memory consolidation theory (particularly during sleep)! TL;DR Intrinsic measures of network integration and MTL centrality are tied to sleep oscillations and each phase of emotional memory processing 🧠
