Consciousness is often said to disappear in deep, dreamless sleep. We argue that this
assumption is oversimplified. Unless dreamless sleep is defined as unconscious from the …

G. William Domhoff presents a new neurocognitive theory of dreams in his book The
Emergence of Dreaming. His theory stresses the similarities between dreaming and drifting …

Sleep is necessary for the optimal consolidation of procedural learning, and in particular, for
motor sequential skills. Motor sequence learning remains intact with age, but sleep …

This article argues both rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM)
sleep contribute to overnight episodic memory processes but their roles differ. Episodic …

The phenomenon of dreaming about the laboratory when participating in a sleep study is
common. The content of such dreams draws upon episodic memory fragments of the …

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, sleep, practice. With enough practice–and sleep–
we adopt new strategies that eventually become automatic, and subsequently require only …

Sleep consolidates memory for procedural motor skills, reflected by sleep-dependent
changes in the hippocampal-striatal-cortical network. Other forms of procedural skills require …

We investigated the behavioural and neuronal functional consequences of age-related
differences in sleep for gaining insight into novel cognitive strategies. Forty healthy young …

The 'day residue'-the presence of waking memories into dreams-is a century-old concept
that remains controversial in neuroscience. Even at the psychological level, it remains …

Sleep is known to be beneficial to the strengthening of two distinct forms of procedural
memory: memory for novel, cognitively simple series of motor movements, and memory for …
