Verified content

• [abstract] Review: sleep optimises the consolidation of newly acquired information in memory, depending on the conditions of learning and the timing of sleep.
• [abstract] Consolidation during sleep produces both quantitative and qualitative changes in memories.
• [abstract] During slow-wave sleep, slow oscillations, spindles and ripples coordinate re-activation and redistribution of hippocampus-dependent memories to the neocortex; REM sleep may favour later synaptic consolidation in the cortex.

Limits

• [assessment] Review of mostly laboratory research. Full text not read (closed). The earlier lines on declarative vs procedural coverage and short retention intervals are removed as unverified.
