Sleep Facilitates Consolidation of Emotional Declarative Memory
@article{Hu2006SleepFC, title={Sleep Facilitates Consolidation of Emotional Declarative Memory}, author={Peter Hu and Melinda Stylos-Allan and Matthew P. Walker}, journal={Psychological Science}, year={2006}, volume={17}, pages={891 - 898} }
Both sleep and emotion are known to modulate processes of memory consolidation, yet their interaction is poorly understood. We examined the influence of sleep on consolidation of emotionally arousing and neutral declarative memory. Subjects completed an initial study session involving arousing and neutral pictures, either in the evening or in the morning. Twelve hours later, after sleeping or staying awake, subjects performed a recognition test requiring them to discriminate between these…

Abstract Background: Memory can be facilitated by the emotional strength of encoded information. Offline consolidation during sleep (post-learning sleep, even as little as a nap,) also modulates…

Sleep Promotes the Neural Reorganization of Remote Emotional Memory

It is suggested that sleep during the first postencoding night profoundly influences the long-term systems-level consolidation of emotional memory and modifies the functional segregation and integration associated with recollection in the long term.

Data support the role of REM-sleep neurobiology in the consolidation of emotional human memories, findings that have direct translational implications for affective psychiatric and mood disorders.
Acute sleep deprivation and the selective consolidation of emotional memories

Replicating the emotional memory trade-off effect, negative objects were better remembered than neutral objects or background images, but sleep-deprived participants showed similar recognition rates for negative emotional memories relative to participants who were given a full night of sleep.
Sleep selectively stabilizes contextual aspects of negative memories
- Psychology, BiologyScientific Reports

The authors' data indicate a sleep-dependent stabilization of negative contextual memories, in a way not seen for neutral memories, item recognition, or across wakefulness, which adds to the understanding of the complex interrelations among sleep, memory, and emotion.

The results indicate that arousal supports slower forgetting even when the difference in attentional resources allocated to stimuli is minimized.

Results are consonant with a supportive function of REM sleep predominating late sleep for the formation of emotional memory in humans, and particularly enhanced memory for emotional texts.

New findings by Gais and Born presented in this issue of PNAS provide compelling evidence in human subjects that SWS and the accompanying low levels of acetylcholine during SWS may mediate a critical memory consolidation process.
Sleep-Induced Changes in Associative Memory
- Psychology, BiologyJournal of Cognitive Neuroscience

The shift in weak priming seen after REM sleep awakenings suggests that cognition during REM sleep is qualitatively different from that of waking and NREM sleep and may reflect a shift in associative memory systems, a shift that is hypothesize underlies the bizarre and hyperassociative character of REM-sleep dreaming.

Findings from animal and human studies indicate that the amygdala mediates the memory-modulating effects of adrenal stress hormones and several classes of neurotransmitters and plays a key role in enabling emotionally significant experiences to be well remembered.

Using electroencephalographic methods, rats learning or not learning a two‐way active avoidance task were found to differ significantly in the structure of sleep determined the day before training, which might reflect the existence of a genetic determinant independently conditioning the ability to learn.
