Learning enhancement by sleep : closed-loop potentiation of slow oscillations during NREM sleep
Why is sleep important? It is considered that sleep is crucial for memory consolidation by strengthening and integrating labile new memory traces into pre-existing memory networks. 1 Without this process, newly learned information would be susceptible to forgetting. Sleep is classified into two stag...

| description | Why is sleep important? It is considered that sleep is crucial for memory consolidation by strengthening and integrating labile new memory traces into pre-existing memory networks. 1 Without this process, newly learned information would be susceptible to forgetting. Sleep is classified into two stages, rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep, based on rhythmic activity of the brain. The 0.5 - 4 Hz waves or slow oscillations (SOs), a major characteristic of NREM sleep, are critical for memory consolidation. By enhancing SOshumans, memory was shown to be improved. 2 However, mechanisms underlying SO-dependent memory consolidation have remained unclear. [1st Award] |
