Biological organisms learn from interactions with their environment throughout their lifetime.
For artificial systems to successfully act and adapt in the real world, it is desirable to similarly …

Memory consolidation refers to the transformation over time of experience-dependent
internal representations and their neurobiological underpinnings. The process is assumed …

Artificial neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting. Unlike humans, when these
networks are trained on something new, they rapidly forget what was learned before. In the …

Targeted memory reactivation (TMR) is a methodology employed to manipulate memory
processing during sleep. TMR studies have great potential to advance understanding of …

Sleep is implicated in cognitive functioning in young adults. With increasing age, there are
substantial changes to sleep quantity and quality, including changes to slow-wave sleep …

Since Freud, clinicians have understood that disturbing memories contribute to
psychopathology and that new emotional experiences contribute to therapeutic change. Yet …

Memory transformation is increasingly acknowledged in theoretical accounts of systems
consolidation, yet how memory quality and neural representation change over time and how …

How are brief encounters transformed into lasting memories? Previous research has
established the role of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, along with its …

Sleep is thought to support memory consolidation via reactivation of prior experiences, with
particular electrophysiological sleep signatures (slow oscillations (SOs) and sleep spindles) …

Despite the ubiquity of sleep across phylogeny, its function remains elusive. In this review,
we consider one compelling candidate: brain plasticity associated with memory processing …
