Net decrease in spine-surface GluA1-containing AMPA receptors after post-learning sleep in the adult mouse cortex

The synaptic mechanisms of how sleep benefits cognitive functions are not well characterised. Here, the authors show that sleep leads to an overall net decrease in spine-surface GluA1-containing AMPA receptors and that this is correlated with changes in performance after sleep.
