Recognition responses to stimuli that are similar to those observed previously can hint at the fidelity of the memories or point to processes of generalization at the expense of precise memory representations. Experimental studies utilizing this approach showed that emotions and sleep both influence these responses. Sleep, and more specifically rapid eye movement sleep, is assumed to facilitate the generalization of emotional memories. We studied mnemonic discrimination by the emotional variant of the Mnemonic Separation Task in participants (N = 113) who spent a daytime nap between learning and testing compared with another group that spent an equivalent time awake between the two sessions. Our findings indicate that the discrimination of similar but previously not seen items from previously seen ones is enhanced in case of negative compared with neutral and positive stimuli. Moreover, whereas the sleep and the wake groups did not differ in memory performance, participants entering rapid eye movement sleep exhibited increased generalization of emotional memories. Our findings indicate that entering into rapid eye movement sleep during a daytime nap shapes emotional memories in a way that enhances recognition at the expense of detailed memory representations.}, keywords = {MEMORY; memory consolidation; HIPPOCAMPAL; Generalization; PATTERN SEPARATION; Clinical Neurology; EYE-MOVEMENT SLEEP; Daytime nap; Mnemonic Separation Task}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1365-2869}, orcid-numbers = {Simor, Péter Dániel/0000-0003-0695-166X} } @article{MTMT:34505166, title = {Temporal association between sleep spindles and ripples in the human anterior and mediodorsal thalamus}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34505166}, author = {Szalárdy, Orsolya and Simor, Péter Dániel and Ujma, Przemyslaw Péter and Jordán, Zsófia and Halász, László and Erőss, Loránd and Fabó, Dániel and Bódizs, Róbert}, doi = {10.1111/ejn.16240}, journal-iso = {EUR J NEUROSCI}, journal = {EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE}, volume = {59}, unique-id = {34505166}, issn = {0953-816X}, abstract = {Sleep spindles are major oscillatory components of Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep, reflecting hyperpolarization-rebound sequences of thalamocortical neurons. Reports suggest a link between sleep spindles and several forms of high-frequency oscillations which are considered as expressions of pathological off-line neural plasticity in the central nervous system. Here we investigated the relationship between thalamic sleep spindles and ripples in the anterior and mediodorsal nuclei (ANT and MD) of epilepsy patients. Whole-night LFP from the ANT and MD were co-registered with scalp EEG/polysomnography by using externalized leads in 15 epilepsy patients undergoing a Deep Brain Stimulation protocol. Slow (~12 Hz) and fast (~14 Hz) sleep spindles were present in the human ANT and MD and roughly, 20% of them were associated with ripples. Ripple-associated thalamic sleep spindles were characterized by longer duration and exceeded pure spindles in terms of spindle power as indicated by time-frequency analysis. Furthermore, ripple amplitude was modulated by the phase of sleep spindles within both thalamic nuclei. No signs of pathological processes were correlated with measures of ripple and spindle association, furthermore, the density of ripple-associated sleep spindles in the ANT showed a positive correlation with verbal comprehension. Our findings indicate the involvement of the human thalamus in coalescent spindle-ripple oscillations of NREM sleep.}, keywords = {EPILEPSY; sleep spindle; mediodorsal thalamus; ANTERIOR THALAMUS; General intelligence; thalamic ripples}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1460-9568}, pages = {641-661}, orcid-numbers = {Szalárdy, Orsolya/0000-0001-9171-1147; Simor, Péter Dániel/0000-0003-0695-166X; Ujma, Przemyslaw Péter/0000-0002-7981-3009; Erőss, Loránd/0000-0002-5796-5546; Fabó, Dániel/0000-0001-5141-5351; Bódizs, Róbert/0000-0001-5341-060X} } @article{MTMT:34474220, title = {Optimizing the methodology of human sleep and memory research}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34474220}, author = {Németh, Dezső and Gerbier, Emilie and Born, Jan and Rickard, Timothy and Diekelmann, Susanne and Fogel, Stuart and Genzel, Lisa and Prehn-Kristensen, Alexander and Payne, Jessica and Dresler, Martin and Simor, Péter Dániel and Mazza, Stephanie and Hoedlmoser, Kerstin and Ruby, Perrine and Spencer, Rebecca M.

Homeostatic sleep pressure seems to facilitate mind-wandering as indicated by studies observing links between increased mind-wandering and impaired sleep. Nevertheless, previous studies mostly relied on cross-sectional measurements and self-reports. We aimed to combine the accuracy of objective sleep measures with the use of self-reports in a naturalistic setting in order to examine if objective sleep parameters predict the tendency for increased mind-wandering on the following day. We used mobile sleep electroencephalographic (EEG) headbands and self-report scales over 7 consecutive nights in a group of 67 healthy participants yielding similar to 400 analyzable nights. Nights with more wakefulness and shorter REM and slow wave sleep were associated with poorer subjective sleep quality at the intraindividual level. Reduced REM and N2 sleep, as well as less intense dream experiences, predicted more mind-wandering the following day. Our micro-longitudinal study indicates that intraindividual fluctuations in the duration of specific sleep stages predict the perception of sleep quality as assessed in the morning, as well as the intensity of daytime mind-wandering the following hours. The combined application of sleep EEG assessments and self-reports over repeated assessments provides new insights into the subtle intraindividual, night-to-day associations between nighttime sleep and the next day's subjective experiences.}, keywords = {Brain; QUALITY; REM; SLOW; sleep quality; dreaming; default mode network; executive control; WORKING-MEMORY CAPACITY; Clinical Neurology; EYE-MOVEMENT SLEEP; mind-wandering; THOUGHT; SUBJECTIVE SLEEP}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1550-9109}, orcid-numbers = {Simor, Péter Dániel/0000-0003-0695-166X; Báthori, Noémi/0000-0003-3971-4441} } @article{MTMT:33729978, title = {Altered parasympathetic activity during sleep and emotionally arousing wakefulness in frequent nightmare recallers}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33729978}, author = {Tomacsek, Vivien and Blaskovich, Borbála and Király, Anna and Reichardt, Richárd and Simor, Péter Dániel}, doi = {10.1007/s00406-023-01573-2}, journal-iso = {EUR ARCH PSY CLIN N}, journal = {EUROPEAN ARCHIVES OF PSYCHIATRY AND CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE}, volume = {274}, unique-id = {33729978}, issn = {0940-1334}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1433-8491}, pages = {265-277}, orcid-numbers = {Simor, Péter Dániel/0000-0003-0695-166X} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:34765409, title = {Slow wave sleep is associated with nucleus accumbens volume in elderly cognitively unimpaired adults}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34765409}, author = {Nárai, Ádám and Báthori, Noémi and Bankó, Éva Mária and Bihari, Adél and Havadi-Nagy, Menta and Manga, Annamária Eszter and Tomacsek, Vivien and Erőss, György and Gál, Andor Viktor and Weiss, Béla and Hermann, Petra and Simor, Péter Dániel and Vidnyánszky, Zoltán}, booktitle = {2023 Neuroscience Meeting Planner.
