Morning recall of verbal material depends on prior sleep organization
TLDR
The hypothesis that sleep organization, i.e. the regular occurrence of NREM-REM cycles more than sleep states per se, may be crucial for the retention of verbal material presented before sleep is put forward.About:

About sleep's role in memory
Bjoern Rasch,Jan Born,Jan Born +2 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep loss, learning capacity and academic performance
TL;DR: The findings strongly suggest that students of different education levels (from school to university) are chronically sleep deprived or suffer from poor sleep quality and consequent daytime sleepiness and sleep loss is frequently associated with poor declarative and procedural learning in students.
Journal ArticleDOI
The whats and whens of sleep-dependent memory consolidation.
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that access to sleep-dependent consolidation requires memories to be encoded under control of prefrontal-hippocampal circuitry, with the same circuitry controlling subsequent consolidation during sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
The reinterpretation of dreams: An evolutionary hypothesis of the function of dreaming
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors put forward the hypothesis that the biological function of dreaming is to simulate threatening events, and to rehearse threat perception and threat avoidance, which is supported by empirical evidence from normative dream content, children's dreams, recurrent dreams, nightmares, post traumatic dreams, and the dreams of hunter-gatherers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep Enhances Plasticity in the Developing Visual Cortex
TL;DR: It is found that sleep enhanced the effects of a preceding period of monocular deprivation on visual cortical responses, but wakefulness in complete darkness did not do so, suggesting that sleep in early life may play a crucial role in brain development.

A synaptic model of memory: long-term potentiation in the hippocampus
TL;DR: The best understood form of long-term potentiation is induced by the activation of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor complex, which allows electrical events at the postsynaptic membrane to be transduced into chemical signals which, in turn, are thought to activate both pre- and post Synaptic mechanisms to generate a persistent increase in synaptic strength.

A Manual of Standardized Terminology, Techniques and Scoring System for Sleep Stages of Human Subjects.
TL;DR: Techniques of recording, scoring, and doubtful records are carefully considered, and Recommendations for abbreviations, types of pictorial representation, order of polygraphic tracings are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactivation of hippocampal ensemble memories during sleep.
TL;DR: In this paper, large ensembles of hippocampal "place cells" were recorded from three rats during spatial behavioral tasks and in slow-wave sleep preceding and following these behaviors, showing an increased tendency to fire together during subsequent sleep, in comparison to sleep episodes preceding the behavioral tasks.
