Sleep transforms the cerebral trace of declarative memories.
After encoding, memory traces are initially fragile and have to be reinforced to become permanent. The initial steps of this process occur at a cellular level within minutes or hours. Besides this rapid synaptic consolidation, systems consolidation occurs within a time frame of days to years. For declarative memory, the latter is presumed to rely on an interaction between different brain region...
متن کاملHow Does NREM Sleep Affect the Consolidation of Declarative Memories?
in the consolidation of declarative memories. This hypothesis is derived from a variety of experiments that involve manipulation of sleep cycles around word-pair learning tasks. There are two popular theories that attempt to explain the underlying mechanisms: the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis suggests that slow oscillations seen in sleep EEG indicate the global downscaling of synaptic strengt...
متن کاملSleep stage II contributes to the consolidation of declarative memories.
Various studies suggest that non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, especially slow-wave sleep (SWS), is vital to the consolidation of declarative memories. However, sleep stage 2 (S2), which is the other NREM sleep stage besides SWS, has gained only little attention. The current study investigated whether S2 during an afternoon nap contributes to the consolidation of declarative memories. Partic...
متن کاملDeclarative Memory: Sleep Protects New Memories from Interference
Interference is one of the most fundamental phenomena in memory research: acquiring new memories causes forgetting of other, related memories. A new study shows that sleep, interposed between learning episodes, can mitigate the extent to which new (post-sleep) learning interferes with recall of previously acquired knowledge.
متن کاملFar Beyond Declarative and Non-Declarative Memories
According to general learning theory two major forms of learning can be observed across species. These universal forms of learning are classical and operant conditioning (Tarpy, 1997). Although both forms of conditioning can occur in the absence of awareness of the contingencies between CS (conditioned stimulus) and UCS (unconditioned stimulus) (or action – consequence contingencies) (Huston an...
