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 …

Long-term memory formation is a major function of sleep. Based on evidence from
neurophysiological and behavioral studies mainly in humans and rodents, we consider the …

Memory consolidation during sleep is thought to depend on the coordinated interplay
between cortical slow waves, thalamocortical sleep spindles and hippocampal ripples, but …

Sleep spindles are burstlike signals in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the slee**
mammalian brain and electrical surface correlates of neuronal oscillations in thalamus. As …

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 …

Sleep is a universal, essential biological process. It is also an invaluable window on
consciousness. It tells us that consciousness can be lost but also that it can be regained, in …

The coupled interaction between slow-wave oscillations and sleep spindles during non-
rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep has been proposed to support memory consolidation …

While the interaction of the cardinal rhythms of non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep—the
thalamo-cortical spindles, hippocampal ripples, and the cortical slow oscillations—is thought …

Brain activity during sleep is characterized by circuit-specific oscillations, including slow
waves, spindles and theta waves, which are nested in thalamocortical or hippocampal …

During systems-level consolidation, mnemonic representations initially reliant on the
hippocampus are thought to migrate to neocortical sites for more permanent storage, with an …
