Sleep and brain/cognitive/neural reserve significantly impact well-being and cognition throughout life. This review aims to explore the intricate relationship between such factors, with reference to their effects on human cognitive functions. The specific goal is to understand the bidirectional influence that sleep and reserve exert on each other. Up to 6 February 2024, a methodical search of the literature was conducted using the PubMed database with terms related to brain, cognitive or neural reserve, and healthy or disturbed sleep. Based on the inclusion criteria, 11 articles were selected and analyzed for this review. The articles focus almost exclusively on cognitive reserve, with no explicit connection between sleep and brain or neural reserve. The results evidence sleep's role as a builder of cognitive reserve and cognitive reserve's role as a moderator in the effects of physiological and pathological sleep on cognitive functions. In conclusion, the findings of the present review support the notion that both sleep and cognitive reserve are critical factors in cognitive functioning. Deepening comprehension of the interactions between them is essential for devising strategies to enhance brain health and resilience against age- and pathology-related conditions.
睡眠以及大脑/认知/神经储备在人的一生中对幸福感和认知能力有着重大影响。本综述旨在探讨这些因素之间的复杂关系，并参考它们对人类认知功能的影响。具体目标是了解睡眠和储备之间的双向影响。截至2024年2月6日，使用PubMed数据库对文献进行了系统检索，检索词包括与大脑、认知或神经储备以及健康或紊乱睡眠相关的词汇。基于纳入标准，选择了11篇文章进行本综述的分析。这些文章几乎完全聚焦于认知储备，睡眠与大脑或神经储备之间没有明确联系。结果证明了睡眠作为认知储备构建者的作用，以及认知储备作为生理和病理睡眠对认知功能影响的调节者的作用。总之，本综述的结果支持了睡眠和认知储备都是认知功能关键因素的观点。深入理解它们之间的相互作用对于制定增强大脑健康以及抵御与年龄和病理相关状况的恢复力的策略至关重要。
