We show that previously reported sex differences in sleep architecture and the deleterious effects of sleep loss on vigilance shown in younger people are also present in healthy older adults. Sleep loss and time of the day had minimal effects on memory and spatial navigation performance in this age group. Our results suggest that biological sex sho...

Full-text available
We show that the effect of sleep loss on balance control is modulated by interactions between sensorial feedback modality, time of the day and sex. The greater impact of sleep loss on balance control observed when participants rely on visual feedback may be due to an intersensorial conflict between vision and other sensorial modalities important fo...

Our results suggest that APOE-ɛ4 carriership in healthy elderly adults has a limited impact on subjective and objective sleep quality and daytime sleepiness measures with evidence for a decrease in circadian rest-activity amplitude and a marginal decrease in the percentage of TST in N2. Further in-depth analyses are required to clarify whether diff...

Introduction: Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by difficulties in communication and social interaction. The theory of mind (TM) links social deficiencies in ASD with a difficulty in representing the mental states of other people. The Mu rhythm (8-13Hz) has been studied as an expression of the possible neuronal basis of TM. In ASD,...
