    Abstract The classic view of sleep and vigilance states is a global stationary perspective driven by the interaction between neuromodulators and thalamocortical systems. However, recent data are challenging this view by demonstrating that vigilance states are highly dynamic and regionally complex. Spatially, sleep- and wake-like states often co-occur across distinct brain regions, as in unihemispheric sleep, local sleep in wakefulness, and during development. Temporally, dynamic switching prevails around state transitions, during extended wakefulness, and in fragmented sleep. This knowledge, together with methods monitoring brain activity across multiple regions simultaneously at millisecond resolution with cell-type specificity, is rapidly shifting how we consider vigilance states. A new perspective incorporating multiple spatial and temporal scales may have important implications for considering the governing neuromodulatory mechanisms, the functional roles of vigilance states, and their behavioral manifestations. A modular and dynamic view highlights novel avenues for finer spatiotemporal interventions to improve sleep function.

    Abstract Sleep improves the consolidation and long-term stability of newly formed memories and associations. Most research on human declarative memory and its consolidation during sleep uses word-pair associations requiring exhaustive learning. In the present study, we present the visual paired association learning (vPAL) paradigm, in which participants learn new associations between images of celebrities and animals. The vPAL is based on a one-shot exposure that resembles learning in natural conditions. We tested if vPAL can reveal a role for sleep in memory consolidation by assessing the specificity of memory recognition, and the cued recall performance, before and after sleep. We found that a daytime nap improved the stability of recognition memory and discrimination abilities compared to identical intervals of wakefulness. By contrast, cued recall of associations did not exhibit significant sleep-dependent effects. High-density electroencephalography during naps further revealed an association between sleep spindle density and stability of recognition memory. Thus, the vPAL paradigm opens new avenues for future research on sleep and memory consolidation across ages and heterogeneous populations in health and disease.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of a novel spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of myopia in children.
    Design: A prospective, randomized, double blind clinical trial.
    Methods: One hundred twenty-six Israeli children aged 6-13 years with spherical equivalent (SER) refractive errors of -0.5 to -6.25 diopters (D) were randomized into either the Shamir Myopia Control (SMC) lens design group or the conventional single-vision spectacle lenses (SVL), the control group. Outcomes measured were changes in axial length and cycloplegic refraction as well as subjective rating of visual experience over a period of 12 months.
    Results: At 12 months, AL and SER progression were slowed by 0.11 mm (35%, P < .05) and 0.16 D (25%, P = .122), respectively. In the subgroup of 6-10-year-olds, AL and SER progression were slowed by 0.17 mm (41%, P < .05) and 0.31 D (43%, P < .05), respectively. Similarly, for the subgroup of children with 2 myopic parents AL and SER progression were slowed by 0.15 mm (45% P < .05) and 0.36 D (42%, P < .05), respectively. Subjective visual experience reported in the 12-month questionnaire revealed no difference between the SMC and SVL groups, and average daily wearing hours were also not different between the groups: 14 (±1.4) and 13.8 (±2.3) hours, respectively. The study continues to its second year.
    Conclusions: SMC lenses were effective in slowing the progression of SER and AL, especially for younger children and those having 2 myopic parents. The subjective rating of visual experience and the daily duration of use reported by the SMC group at 12 months were similar to the control group, indicating good lens tolerability.

    Abstract Insufficient sleep is commonplace in modern lifestyle and can lead to grave outcomes, yet the changes in neuronal activity accumulating over hours of extended wakefulness remain poorly understood. Specifically, which aspects of cortical processing are affected by sleep deprivation (SD), and whether they also affect early sensory regions, remain unclear. Here, we recorded spiking activity in the rat auditory cortex along with polysomnography while presenting sounds during SD followed by recovery sleep. We found that frequency tuning, onset responses, and spontaneous firing rates were largely unaffected by SD. By contrast, SD decreased entrainment to rapid (≥20 Hz) click trains, increased population synchrony, and increased the prevalence of sleep-like stimulus-induced silent periods, even when ongoing activity was similar. Recovery NREM sleep was associated with similar effects as SD with even greater magnitude, while auditory processing during REM sleep was similar to vigilant wakefulness. Our results show that processes akin to those in NREM sleep invade the activity of cortical circuits during SD, even in the early sensory cortex.

    Abstract The neuronal circuit disturbances that drive inter-ictal and ictal epileptiform discharges remain elusive. Using a combination of extra-operative macro-electrode and micro-electrode inter-ictal recordings in six pre-surgical patients during non-rapid eye movement sleep, we found that, exclusively in the seizure onset zone, fast ripples (200-600 Hz), but not ripples (80-200 Hz), frequently occur <300 ms before an inter-ictal intra-cranial EEG spike with a probability exceeding chance (bootstrapping,

    Abstract Purpose: To compare intraocular lens (IOL) power prediction accuracy of the Eyestar 900 (EyeS900) and the IOLMaster 700 (IOLM700) based on estimated and measured posterior corneal power DESIGN: Retrospective, inter-instrument reliability study METHODS: Setting: Institutional.
    Participants: 225 eyes of 225 cataract surgery patients.
    Measurements: Patients underwent measurements by both devices preoperatively.
    Main outcome measures: Spherical Equivalent Prediction Error (SEQ-PE), spread of the SEQ-PE (Precision) and the absolute SEQ-PE (accuracy) of each device using Barrett Universal II (BUII) formula with either estimated posterior keratometry (E-PK) or measured posterior keratometry (M-PK).
    Results: Trimmed mean SEQ-PEs of EyeS900 E-PK, EyeS900 M-PK, IOLM700 E-PK and IOLM700 M-PK were 0.03, 0.08, 0.02 and 0.08 D, respectively with no significant differences between EyeS900 E-PK and IOLM700 E-PK (p=0.31) as well as between EyeS900 M-PK and IOLM700 M-PK (p=0.31). Statistically significant SEQ-PE differences were found when E-PK and M-PK were compared, regardless of the device used, showing hyperopic SEQ-PE in M-PK calculations. Excellent correlation and agreement in SEQ-PE were found between the devices for both E-PK (p<0.001,r=0.848, mean bias:+0.01 D, 95% LOA of -0.32 to +0.34 D) and M-PK (p<0.001,r=0.776, mean bias:-0.01 D, 95% LOA of -0.42 to +0.39 D). No significant differences were found comparing absolute SEQ-PE and precision of the devices.
    Conclusion: The Eyestar 900 and the IOLMaster 700 show comparable IOL power prediction accuracy by the BUII formula using either estimated or measured posterior keratometry. An adjusted lens factor may be required for BUII when utilizing measured posterior keratometry in both devices.
