In young adults, sleep spindles are preferentially responsive to encoded information that is tagged as having future relevance. Older adults, on the other hand, show reduced capacity for future simulation and alterations in sleep physiology. Healthy young adults (n = 38) and older adults (n = 28) completed an adaptation night, followed by two in-laboratory polysomnography nights, in which they mentally simulated future events or remembered past events, recorded via written descriptions. We quantified the degree of future\/past thinking using linguistic analysis of time orientation. In young adults, greater future thinking was linked to greater spindle density, even when controlling for gender, age, and word count (rp = .370, p = .028). The opposite was true for older adults, such that greater future thinking was associated with reduced spindle density (rp = \u2212.431, p = .031). These patterns were selective to future thinking (not observed for past thinking). The collective findings implicate an impaired interaction between future relevance tagging and sleep physiology as a mechanism by which aging compromises sleep-dependent cognitive processing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/jocn_a_01716","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,31]],"date-time":"2021-03-31T11:32:27Z","timestamp":1617190347000},"page":"1287-1294","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/mitpressjournals.corrections.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The Prospective Sleeping Brain: Age-Related Differences in Episodic Future Thinking and Frontal Sleep Spindles"],"prefix":"10.1162","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Paul","family":"Fillmore","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chenlu","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jose","family":"Diaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael K.","family":"Scullin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"281","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021060718284812800_bib1","first-page":"1363","article-title":"Remembering the past and imagining the future: common and distinct neural substrates during event construction and elaboration","volume":"45","author":"Addis","year":"2007","journal-title":"Neuropsychologia"},{"key":"2021060718284812800_bib2","first-page":"34","article-title":"Preferential consolidation of emotionally salient information during a nap is preserved in middle age","volume":"68","author":"Alger","year":"2018","journal-title":"Neurobiology of Aging"},{"key":"2021060718284812800_bib3","first-page":"2025","article-title":"Consolidation of prospective memory: Effects of sleep on completed and reinstated intentions","volume":"7","author":"Barner","year":"2017","journal-title":"Frontiers in Psychology"},{"key":"2021060718284812800_bib4","first-page":"281","article-title":"The impact of napping on memory for future-relevant stimuli: Prioritization among multiple salience cues","volume":"130","author":"Bennion","year":"2016","journal-title":"Behavioral Neuroscience"},{"key":"2021060718284812800_bib5","first-page":"195","article-title":"A two process model of sleep regulation","volume":"1","author":"Borb\u00e9ly","year":"1982","journal-title":"Human Neurobiology"},{"key":"2021060718284812800_bib6","first-page":"3","article-title":"What are memories for?
