Are infraslow oscillations the missing link between sleep and Alzheimer's? https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.04.09.717425v1
Happy to share our recent theoretical review

Latest piece of the lab. We studied the effects of vestibular stimulation during sleep on synaptic plasticity and motor learning.
Rocking-induced sleep enhancement promotes motor learning through transcriptional and synaptic remodelling

🙏 Huge thanks to all co-authors for an amazing collaborative effort!
📌 Take-home: Sleep is essential for myelin maintenance. Disrupted oligodendrocyte function may underlie cognitive and behavioral impairments after sleep loss.
💡 Enhancing cholesterol redistribution to myelin prevented conduction delays and behavioral deficits, despite ongoing sleep loss.
