Learning enhancement by sleep : closed-loop potentiation of slow oscillations during NREM sleep by Tu, Mengyu

“…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]…”

Dorsal hippocampal CA1 NMDA receptors mediate the interactive effects of quetiapine and lithium on memory retention in male rats by Majid Jafari-Sabet, Shiva Amiri, Sahar Emami, Helia Aghamiri, Navid Fatahi, Fariborz Keyhanfar

“…Results: Post-training administration of certain doses of lithium (20, 30, and 40 mg/kg, IP) diminished memory consolidation. Post-training administration of higher doses of quetiapine (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg, IP) augmented memory consolidation. …”

Memory in 3-month-old infants benefits from a short nap by Horváth, K, Hannon, B, Ujma, P, Gombos, F, Plunkett, K

“…A broad range of studies demonstrate that sleep has a facilitating role in memory consolidation (see Rasch &amp; Born, ). Whether sleep-dependent memory consolidation is also apparent in infants in their first few months of life has not been investigated. …”

Excitatory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to left dorsal premotor cortex enhances motor consolidation of new skills by Boyd Lara A, Linsdell Meghan A

After being challenged by a video game problem, sleep increases the chance to solve it. by Felipe Beijamini, Sofia Isabel Ribeiro Pereira, Felipe Augusto Cini, Fernando Mazzilli Louzada

“…In the past years many studies have demonstrated the role of sleep on memory consolidation. It is known that sleeping after learning a declarative or non-declarative task, is better than remaining awake. …”

Association of salivary-assessed oxytocin and cortisol levels with time of night and sleep stage. by Blagrove, M, Fouquet, N, Baird, A, Pace-Schott, E, Davies, A, Neuschaffer, J, Henley-Einion, J, Weidemann, C, Thome, J, McNamara, P, Turnbull, O

“…There have been proposals for REM to have a function of emotional memory consolidation, and also for REM sleep to be involved in the promotion of attachment behaviour. …”

Consolidation of cellular memory representations in superficial neocortex by Ingrid M. Esteves, HaoRan Chang, Adam R. Neumann, Bruce L. McNaughton

“…Summary: Systems-level memory consolidation, a key concept in memory research, involves the conversion of memories that depend on the hippocampus for their formation into efficient hippocampus-independent forms, presumably encoded by cortico-cortical connections. …”

Age-related changes in sleep-dependent novel word consolidation by Kyle A. Kainec, Abdul Wasay Paracha, Salma Ali, Rahul Bussa, Janna Mantua, Rebecca Spencer

“…Decreases in sleep quality and quantity with aging may diminish sleep-dependent memory consolidation for word learning. Alternatively, given that older adults outperform young adults on vocabulary-based tasks, and that strength of memory encoding (how well older adults learn) predicts sleep-dependent memory consolidation, word learning may uniquely benefit from sleep in older adults. …”

Biasing the content of hippocampal replay during sleep by Bender, Daniel A., Wilson, Matthew A.

“…During sleep, neural activity in the hippocampus related to a recent experience has been observed to spontaneously reoccur, and this “replay” has been postulated to be important for memory consolidation. Task-related cues can enhance memory consolidation when presented during a post-training sleep session, and if memories are consolidated by hippocampal replay, a specific enhancement for this replay should also be observed. …”

Consolidation and maintenance of long-term memory involve dual functions of the developmental regulator Apterous in clock neurons and mushroom bodies in the Drosophila brain. by Show Inami, Tomohito Sato, Yuto Kurata, Yuki Suzuki, Toshihiro Kitamoto, Takaomi Sakai

The effects of passive and active administration of heroin, and associated conditioned stimuli, on consolidation of object memory by Travis Francis, Michael Wolter, Francesco Leri

“…Abstract Mode of administration (i.e., active vs passive) could influence the modulatory action that drugs of abuse exert on memory consolidation. Similarly, drug conditioned stimuli modulate memory consolidation and, therefore, acquisition and extinction of this conditioned response could also be influenced by mode of drug administration. …”
