An ultra short episode of sleep is sufficient to promote declarative memory performance.
Various studies have demonstrated that a night of sleep has a beneficial effect on the retention of previously acquired declarative material. In two experiments, we addressed the question of whether this effect extends to daytime naps. In the first experiment we assessed free recall of a list of 30 words after a 60 min retention interval that was either filled with daytime napping or waking act...
متن کاملSleep facilitates consolidation of emotional declarative memory.
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 s...
متن کاملOrexin 2 Receptor Antagonism is Sufficient to Promote NREM and REM Sleep from Mouse to Man
Orexin neuropeptides regulate sleep/wake through orexin receptors (OX1R, OX2R); OX2R is the predominant mediator of arousal promotion. The potential for single OX2R antagonism to effectively promote sleep has yet to be demonstrated in humans. MK-1064 is an OX2R-single antagonist. Preclinically, MK-1064 promotes sleep and increases both rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep in rats a...
متن کاملHippocampal Contributions to Declarative Memory Consolidation During Sleep
The human brain faces a fundamental information storage challenge— forming useful new memories while not over-writing important old ones. Memory consolidation, and the corresponding interplay between the hippocampus and neocortex, is a protracted process to adjudicate between these two competing factors. Converging evidence from behavioral, cellular, and systems neuroscience strongly implicates...
متن کاملSleep smart—optimizing sleep for declarative learning and memory
The last decade has witnessed a spurt of new publications documenting sleep's essential contribution to the brains ability to form lasting memories. For the declarative memory domain, slow wave sleep (the deepest sleep stage) has the greatest beneficial effect on the consolidation of memories acquired during preceding wakefulness. The finding that newly encoded memories become reactivated durin...
