Learning consolidation that occurs during sleep is a result of the learning process, and is not simply due to neural processes and brain regions associated with learning.
Study reveals how the CA2 region of the hippocampus plays a key role in long-term memory consolidation.
53% of dreams can be traced to memories, and of those, 50% are linked to memory sources of multiple previous life events. Additionally, 26% of dreams are associated with impending events. Future-orientated dreams become more prevalent during deeper stages of sleep.
The reactivation of learned material during slow oscillation/sleep spindle complexes, and the precision of SO-spindle coupling predicts how strong a memory will be reactivated in the brain.
Novel experiences dampen previous memory representations in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, facilitating flexible strategy encoding in mice.
Hippocampal adult-born neurons are responsible for memory consolidation during REM sleep.
Adult born neurons are essential for synaptic structural remodeling and memory consolidation during REM sleep, a new mouse study found.
Study reveals people are only 53% likely to identify whether someone else in recounting and accurate or false memory of a crime.
Delivering a memory-inducing scent to one nostril while a person sleeps helps boost memory retention.
Delta waves isolate assemblies of cortical neurons that play an essential role in long-term memory formation and consolidation.
The size and shape of neural assemblies, and not the strength of signals processed by neurons or the order in which they fire, is the most critical element of recording episodic memory.
Unexpected rewards boost memories of specific events. The findings may have implications for treating memory problems associated with depression.
