Emerging studies across learning domains have shed light on mechanisms underlying
sleep's benefits during numerous developmental periods. In this conceptual review, we …

Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

People recall more information after sleep than after an equally long period of wakefulness.
This sleep benefit in episodic memory has been documented in almost a century of …

Reactivating memories during sleep by re-exposure to associated memory cues (eg, odors
