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 …

Sleep is known to support memory consolidation. Here we review evidence for an active
system consolidation occurring during sleep. At the beginning of this process is sleep's …

Accumulating evidence suggests that sleep is important for plasticity and memory
consolidation (Maquet, 2001; Walker and Stickgold, 2004; Datta and Maclean, 2007; …

Sleep has been identified as a state that optimizes the consolidation of newly acquired
information in memory, depending on the specific conditions of learning and the timing of …

There is now compelling evidence that sleep promotes the long-term consolidation of
declarative and procedural memories. Behavioral studies suggest that sleep preferentially …

Recently, compelling evidence has accumulated that links sleep to learning and memory.
Sleep has been identified as a state that optimizes the consolidation of newly acquired …

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

Sleep is critical for regulation of synaptic efficacy, memories, and learning. However, the
underlying mechanisms of how sleep rhythms contribute to consolidating memories …

How are memories transferred from short-term to long-term storage? Systems-level memory
consolidation is thought to be dependent on the coordinated interplay of cortical slow waves …

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 …
