Sleep Dependent Synaptic Down-Selection (II): Single Neuron Level Benefits for Matching, Selectivity, and Specificity

In a companion paper (Nere et al., this volume), we used computer simulations to show that a strategy of activity-dependent, on-line net synaptic potentiation during wake, followed by off-line synaptic depression during sleep, can provide a parsimonious account for several memory benefits of sleep a...
