Behavioral and brain responses to verbal stimuli reveal transient periods of cognitive integration of the external world during sleep
Sleep has long been considered as a state of behavioral disconnection from the
environment, without reactivity to external stimuli. Here we questioned this 'sleep …

Aversive memories can be weakened during human sleep via the reactivation of positive interfering memories
Recollecting painful or traumatic experiences can be deeply troubling. Sleep may offer an
opportunity to reduce such suffering. We developed a procedure to weaken older aversive …

Memory reactivation in slow wave sleep enhances relational learning in humans
L Santamaria, I Kashif, N McGinley… - Communications …, 2024 - nature.com
Sleep boosts the integration of memories, and can thus facilitate relational learning. This
benefit may be due to memory reactivation during non-REM sleep. We set out to test this by …
