Enhancement of memory by auditory stimulation during postlearning REM sleep in humans

TLDR
It is shown that REM actual auditory stimulations significantly improve the retention of a Morse code learning task and this results are discussed in terms of brain activation.

About sleep's role in memory

TL;DR: 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.

Sleep Disturbances as the Hallmark of PTSD: Where Are We Now?

TL;DR: Overall, the literature suggests that disturbed REM or non-REM sleep can contribute to maladaptive stress and trauma responses and may constitute a modifiable risk factor for poor psychiatric outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep states and memory processes

TL;DR: In animals, there is continuing evidence of relatively small, vulnerable paradoxical sleep windows (PSWs) following successful acquisition, which appear to exhibit shorter latencies to onset when the amount of material presented during acquisition is increased.

A refined model of sleep and the time course of memory formation

TL;DR: A new neurocognitive framework of procedural learning is offered, consisting first of acquisition, followed by two specific stages of consolidation, one involving a process of stabilization, the other involving enhancement, whereby delayed learning occurs.

Sleep states and memory processes in humans: procedural versus declarative memory systems

TL;DR: Preliminary results suggest that the length of the NREM-REM sleep cycle may be important for declarative memory and that stage 2 sleep may be involved with the memory for motor procedural but not cognitive procedural tasks.

Sleep states and learning: a review of the animal literature.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the data best support the idea of special periods of paradoxical sleep within the 24 hour period which are specifically involved with the learning process.

Increasing PGO spike density by auditory stimulation increases the duration and decreases the latency of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

TL;DR: The results showed that the auditory stimulus increased PGO spike density during REM sleep and produced a spectacular increase in the duration of REM, while decreasing the latency of its appearance from the first P GO spike.

Improvement of learning by cueing during postlearning paradoxical sleep.

TL;DR: The effect of cueing during the awake state appeared to be marginal compared to the clear-cut effects when the cue was presented during PS, and animals cued during PS showed a significant improvement in performances.

Etude des relations entre le sommeil paradoxal et les processus d' acquisition

TL;DR: It is suggested that the brain activation naturally present in PS is the main condition for memory processes, and the greatest PS increase always occurs at an acquisition stage between the first training sessions and the stabilization of the performance.
