BackgroundThere is evidence that slow wave sleep (SWS) promotes the consolidation of memories that are subserved by mediotemporal- and hippocampo-cortical neural networks. In contrast to implicit memo
r = Pearson r. TST = total sleep time. SWS = slow wave sleep. REM = rapid eye movement sleep. Means and standard deviations of nap macrostructure and Pearson correlations with memory consolidation.
It is now well-established that sleep, plasticity, and memory consolidation mechanisms are crucial for successful adult communication, particularly when a language involves a clearly novel item such a
80 participants learned a very large number of 640 word-pairs over the course of an entire day and then either slept or stayed awake during the night. Recall was tested after another night of regular
This thesis aimed to investigate the impact of sleep on the early consolidation phase of emotional memory and traumatic memory processing. Across three laboratory studies, comparisons were made betwee
