Using EEG to study twin teenagers, researchers tease apart the influence of genetic and environmental factors on brain activity during sleep.
Summary: According to researchers, naps in combination with overnight sleep may work together to benefit emotional memory consolidation in young...
Researchers report our ability to identify and categorize visual information is an active process similar to memory stabilization.
A new study looks how it may be possible to help reduce trauma associated with bad memories while we sleep.
From consolidating memories to cleaning out toxins in the brain that accumulate during waking hours, researchers explore why sleep is so important and what happens when we don't get enough.
Researchers demonstrate sleep boosts communication between the neocortex and hippocampus, assisting with memory formation.
Long-term memories remain 'silent' for about 2 weeks before reaching a mature state, a new study reports.
Researchers reveal that without sleep, memory consolidation may not occur sufficiently.
According to a new study, the brain blocks the ability for creating new memories shortly after waking in order to prevent the disruption of the stabilization of memory consolidation that occurs during sleep.
Newly discovered rotating waves of brain activity that repeat during the night are responsible for forming associations between different aspects of a day's memories, a new study reports.
Researchers explore how memory consolidation occurs during sleep.
Researchers have developed a new math model that could help explain how the brain can lay down new memories without wiping out old ones.
