Endogenous memory reactivation during sleep in humans is clocked by slow oscillation-spindle complexes
Sleep after learning helps to strengthen new memories. Here, the authors link this memory benefit to the reactivation of learning experiences when two endogenous sleep rhythms—slow oscillations and sleep spindles—coincide.
