Linking Network Activity to Synaptic Plasticity during Sleep: Hypotheses and Recent Data
Research findings over the past two decades have supported a link between sleep states and synaptic plasticity. Numerous mechanistic hypotheses have been put forth to explain this relationship. For example, multiple studies have shown structural alterations to synapses (including changes in synaptic...
