Memory consolidation is a gradual process through which episodic memories become
incorporated into long-term'semantic'representations. It likely involves reactivation of neural …

Memory consolidation during slow-wave sleep is supported by slow oscillations (SOs),
spindles, and hippocampal ripples. Recent evidence in both rodents and humans has …

Sleep is critical for regulation of synaptic efficacy, memories, and learning. However, the
underlying mechanisms of how sleep rhythms contribute to consolidating memories …

Sleep is known to support memory consolidation. Here we review evidence for an active
system consolidation occurring during sleep. At the beginning of this process is sleep's …

During slow wave sleep and quiet wakefulness, the hippocampus generates high frequency
field oscillations (ripples) during which pyramidal neurons replay previous waking activity in …

It is widely believed that memories that are encoded and retrieved during waking behavior
are consolidated during sleep. Recent studies on the interactions between the hippocampus …

Functions of the brain and body are oscillatory in nature and organize according to a
logarithmic scale. Brain oscillations and bodily functions such as respiration and heartbeat …

There is now compelling evidence that sleep promotes the long-term consolidation of
declarative and procedural memories. Behavioral studies suggest that sleep preferentially …

Slow-wave sleep (SWS) facilitates the consolidation of hippocampus-dependent declarative
memory. Based on the standard two-stage memory model, we propose that memory …

Recently, compelling evidence has accumulated that links sleep to learning and memory.
Sleep has been identified as a state that optimizes the consolidation of newly acquired …
