Selective REM-Sleep Deprivation Does Not Diminish Emotional Memory Consolidation in Young Healthy Subjects
- 2014
Psychology
REM-sleep deprivation was successful and the resulting reduction of REM-sleep had no influence on memory consolidation whatsoever, suggesting that rapid eye movement sleep facilitates the consolidation of emotional memory.
Differential Effects of Non-REM and REM Sleep on Memory Consolidation?
- 2014
Psychology
Several recent studies have related consolidation of procedural memories to SWS (or non-REM sleep)-dependent consolidation processes, and proposed future research questions to advance the understanding of the role of different sleep stages for memory consolidation.
Interaction of REM and non-REM sleep with memory
- 2021
Psychology
Numerous studies on the function of sleep have been conducted, getting a great deal of information. One of them is the effect of sleep on memory. Investigations have been performed to see how sleep…
The role of REM sleep theta activity in emotional memory
- 2015
Biology, Psychology
It is proposed that REM sleep mediates the prioritized processing of emotional memories within the hippocampus, the integration of previously consolidated memory traces within the neocortex, as well as the disengagement of consolidated neocortical memory traces from the hippocampus.
Memory Consolidation Is Similar in Waking and Sleep
- 2021
Psychology
It is concluded that there are major methodological problems with the studies used to support the hypothesis that sleep is critically involved in memory consolidation and memory consolidation clearly occurs in both sleep and waking.
No cognitive processing in the unconscious, anesthetic‐like, state of sleep
- 2020
Biology, Psychology
It is argued that the brain is in an unconscious state in sleep, akin to general anesthesia (GA), and hence is incapable of meaningful cognitive processing—the sole purview of waking consciousness.
