The Role of Sleep in Memory Consolidation: Active or Permissive?
The role of sleep in human declarative memory consolidation.
TLDR
Focusing on the declarative memory system in humans, the literature regarding the benefits of sleep for both neutral and emotionally salient declaratives memory is reviewed and the impact of sleep on emotion regulation is discussed.
Reactivation and Consolidation of Memory During Sleep
TLDR
It is argued that declarative memory consolidation during sleep is based on covert reactivations of newly encoded memory traces in the hippocampus, which is critical for the redistribution and integration of these memories into the network of pre-existing long-term memories.
2.35 – The Role of Sleep in Memory Consolidation
Napping and the selective consolidation of negative aspects of scenes.
TLDR
Evidence is provided that an afternoon nap is sufficient to trigger preferential memory for emotional information contained in complex scenes, and the magnitude of the emotional memory benefit conferred by sleep is equivalent following a nap and a full night of sleep, suggesting that selective emotional remembering can be economically achieved by taking a nap.
About sleep's role in memory.
TLDR
This review aims to comprehensively cover the field of "sleep and memory" research by providing a historical perspective on concepts and a discussion of more recent key findings.
The Sleeping Brain's Influence on Verbal Memory: Boosting Resistance to Interference
TLDR
By introducing interference after sleep, this study confirms an experimental paradigm that demonstrates the active role of sleep in consolidating memory, and unmasks the large magnitude of that benefit.
Sleep Leads to Changes in the Emotional Memory Trace: Evidence from fMRI
TLDR
Evidence is provided for a shift in the neural structures used to retrieve emotional memories after a night of sleep compared to a day of wakefulness that led to a shift from engagement of a diffuse memory retrieval network to a more refined network of regions.
Comparing Models of Sleep-dependent Memory Consolidation
Sleep spindles provide indirect support to the consolidation of emotional encoding contexts

Sleep Facilitates Consolidation of Emotional Declarative Memory
TLDR
It is suggested that the facilitation of memory for emotionally salient information may preferentially develop during sleep, and recognition bias for remember judgments of these stimuli increased by 58% after sleep relative to wake (resulting in more conservative responding).
Declarative memory consolidation: mechanisms acting during human sleep.
TLDR
It is shown that declarative memory benefits mainly from sleep periods dominated by SWS, whereas there is no consistent benefit of this memory from periods rich in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

What in sleep is for memory.
The REM Sleep-Memory Consolidation Hypothesis
TLDR
The evidence for the hypothesis that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep has an important role in memory consolidation is reviewed and found to be weak and contradictory.
Sleep Facilitates Consolidation of
TLDR
The influence of sleep on consolidation of emotionally arousing and neutral de- clarative memory is examined, suggesting that the facilitation of memory for emotionally salient information may preferentially de- velop during sleep.
Time for the sleep community to take a critical look at the purported role of sleep in memory processing.
TLDR
A wealth of data is presented refuting the proposal that memories are processed or consolidated in sleep, and the main arguments against a role for sleep in learning/memory are reviewed.
Sleep-dependent memory consolidation
TLDR
Converging evidence, from the molecular to the phenomenological, leaves little doubt that offline memory reprocessing during sleep is an important component of how the authors' memories are formed and ultimately shaped.
