Although long-term memory consolidation is supported by sleep, it is unclear how it differs
from that during wakefulness. Our review, focusing on recent advances in the field, identifies …

How do passing moments turn into lasting memories? Sheltered from external tasks and
distractions, sleep constitutes an optimal state for the brain to reprocess and consolidate …

Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, characterized by slow-wave electrophysiological
activity, underlies several critical functions, including learning and memory. However, NREM …

Expressions such as 'sleep on it'refer to the resolution of distressing experiences across a
night of sound sleep. Sleep is an active state during which the brain reorganizes the …

Abstract Systems consolidation—a process for long-term memory stabilization—has been
hypothesized to occur in two stages,,–. Whereas new memories require the hippocampus …

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

This paper explores memory from a cognitive neuroscience perspective and examines
associated neural mechanisms. It examines the different types of memory: working …

During sleep and awake rest, the neocortex generates large-scale slow-wave (SW) activity.
Here, we report that the claustrum coordinates neocortical SW generation. We established a …

Consolidation of memory is believed to involve offline replay of neural activity. While amply
demonstrated in rodents, evidence for replay in humans, particularly regarding motor …

Sleep is assumed to subserve homeostatic processes in the brain; however, the set point
around which sleep tunes circuit computations is unknown. Slow-wave activity (SWA) is …
