How memory replay in sleep boosts creative problem-solving
Creative thought relies on the reorganisation of existing knowledge. Sleep is known to be
important for creative thinking, but there is a debate about which sleep stage is most …

Slow-wave sleep: from the cell to the clinic
In recent decades, increasing evidence has positioned slow-wave sleep (SWS) as a major
actor in neurophysiological phenomena such as glucose metabolism, hormone release …

Sleeping on the motor engram: the multifaceted nature of sleep-related motor memory consolidation
For the past two decades, it has generally been accepted that sleep benefits motor memory
consolidation processes. This notion, however, has been challenged by recent studies and …

Sleep is for forgetting
GR Poe - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
It is possible that one of the essential functions of sleep is to take out the garbage, as it were,
erasing and “forgetting” information built up throughout the day that would clutter the …

NREM2 and sleep spindles are instrumental to the consolidation of motor sequence memories
Although numerous studies have convincingly demonstrated that sleep plays a critical role
in motor sequence learning (MSL) consolidation, the specific contribution of the different …

Item-specific neural representations during human sleep support long-term memory
Understanding how individual memories are reactivated during sleep is essential in
theorizing memory consolidation. Here, we employed the targeted memory reactivation …

How targeted memory reactivation promotes the selective strengthening of memories in sleep
Over the last ten years, scientists have developed a method called targeted memory
reactivation (TMR) for selectively strengthening memories during sleep. Prior to this, memory …
