Is sleep essential for neural plasticity in humans, and how does it affect motor and cognitive recovery?

abstract：Background:Parkinson's disease (PD) patients experience cognitive impairment which has been related to reduced quality of life and functional disability. These symptoms usually progress until dementia occurs. Some studies have been published assessing the efficacy of cognitive treatments on improving cognition, functio...
