The relationship between sleep and performance on tests of pattern separation and the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB)

Alzheimer's disease: The paper discusses Alzheimer's disease as a condition that is both a risk factor for and symptom of sleep disturbances, and explores the potential of sleep-dependent cognitive tests as clinical trial outcome measures for sleep-promoting treatments.

Sleep and insomnia: The paper extensively discusses sleep, sleep disturbances, and the effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, particularly in relation to Alzheimer's disease.

Cognitive function and memory: The paper investigates the impact of sleep and sleep deprivation on cognitive function and memory, using tests such as the Mnemonic Similarity Task (MST) and the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB).

Aging: The paper examines the relationship between sleep and cognitive performance in both younger and older adults, noting differences in sleep quantity and quality between the two groups.
