Impact of Transcranial Slow Oscillating Stimulation on Memory Consolidation During Daytime Slow Wave Sleep in Younger, Healthy Subjects

Charite University, Berlin, Germany·interventional·Posted Apr 26, 2013·Updated Mar 16, 2016

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating brain stimulation and no stimulation for Healthy Subjects. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The beneficial effect of daytime sleep on memory consolidation has been shown in young, healthy subjects. Especially, periods rich in slow-wave sleep (SWS) have shown a memory enhancing effect on hippocampus-dependent declarative memory. Slow oscillatory activity typically occuring during SWS has been implicated in the consolidation effect. In this study we investigate if the consolidation effect can be amplified by the application of a weak transcranial oscillatory electric current within the frequency range of SWS in humans (0,7-0,8 Hz) during daytime SWS.
