Memory reactivation underlies experience-dependent adaptive regulation of sleep | Science Another win for chemogenetics science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Memory reactivation underlies experience-dependent adaptive regulation of sleep

Recent memories are consolidated during sleep by spontaneous reactivation. However, whether and how memory reactivation affects sleep dynamics remain unclear. By tracking and modulating memory...

Wake consolidates event memory, sleep binds it with context

Sleep is thought to be superior to wakefulness in consolidating memory, due to a hippocampus-driven process enhancing the contextual integration of events. We compared recall of associative memory in...
