Background: While connections between children's sleep and their daytime functioning are well established, less is known about the microstructural features of sleep that support emotional wellbeing. Investigating these relationships in healthy children may provide insight into adaptive emotional development. We therefore examined associations between non-rapid eye movement (N2) sleep spindles and both state- and trait-based measures of emotion.
Methods: A sample of 30 children (7-11 years) without psychiatric disorders completed a baseline assessment, one night of at-home polysomnography (PSG), and an in-lab emotional state assessment the next day including self-reported arousal in response to affective images. Trait-based measures of anxiety and depression as well as savoring, a positive emotion regulatory strategy, were also completed. N2 sleep spindle parameters, including spindle density (number/min) and peak frequency in central regions, were detected using an automated algorithm.
Results: Greater spindle density was significantly associated with decreased state-based emotional arousal towards negative affective images, and greater spindle peak frequency was associated with greater trait-based use of savoring. However, neither spindle parameter was associated with child anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Conclusions: Findings align with and expand on prior research to suggest that N2 sleep spindles support adaptive emotional functioning in school-aged children.

Background: We examined racial differences between measures of limbic white matter tracts and objective sleep parameters in cognitively unimpaired older-adults.
Method: This cross-sectional study included 170 community-dwelling cognitively unimpaired older-adults (mean±SD: age = 67.2±5.

Aim: To evaluate the ability of blood-biomarkers, clinical examination, electrophysiology, or neuroimaging, assessed within 14 days from return of circulation to predict good neurological outcome in children following out- or in-hospital cardiac arrest.
Methods: Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane Trials databases were searched (2010-2023). Sensitivity and false positive rates (FPR) for good neurological outcome (defined as either 'no, mild, moderate disability or minimal change from baseline') in paediatric survivors were calculated for each predictor.

Background: Mice play a crucial role in studying the mechanisms of general anesthesia. However, identifying reliable EEG markers for different depths of anesthesia induced by multifarious agents remains a significant challenge. Spindle activity, typically observed during NREM sleep, reflects synchronized thalamocortical activity and is characterized by a frequency range of 7-15 Hz and a duration of 0.

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a major diagnostic tool that provides detailed insight into the electrical activity of the brain. This signal contains a number of distinctive waveform patterns that reflect the subject's health state in relation to sleep, neurological disorders, memory functions, and more. In this regard, sleep spindles and K-complexes are two major waveform patterns of interest to specialists, who visually inspect the recordings to identify these events.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between intraoperative sleep spindle activity and postoperative sleep disturbance (PSD) in elderly orthopedic surgery patients.
Patients And Methods: In this prospective observational cohort study, we collected intraoperative electroencephalography (EEG) data from 212 elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery from May 2023 to December 2023. We used the Athens Insomnia Scale to assess sleep quality on postoperative day (POD) 1 and POD 3 and analyzed the correlation between intraoperative sleep spindle activity and PSD through logistic regression.
