Ultrastructural effects of sleep and wake on the parallel fiber synapses of the cerebellum

Ultrastructural effects of sleep and wake on the parallel fiber synapses of the cerebellum

Multiple evidence in rodents shows that the strength of excitatory synapses in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus is greater after wake than after sleep. The widespread synaptic weakening afforded by sleep is believed to keep the cost of synaptic activity under control, promote memory consolidation...
