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.

Dependence on REM sleep of overnight improvement of a perceptual skill

TL;DR: Performance of a basic visual discrimination task improved after a normal night's sleep, indicating that a process of human memory consolidation, active during sleep, is strongly dependent on REM sleep.

Effects of early and late nocturnal sleep on declarative and procedural memory

TL;DR: The experiments for the first time dissociate specific effects of early and late sleep on two principal types of memory, declarative and procedural, in humans, and the benefit from sleep on recall depended on the phase of sleep and on the type of memory.

Sleep, memory, and plasticity.

TL;DR: Findings from a large body of work on the role of sleep in memory encoding, memory consolidation, brain plasticity, and memory reconsolidation are reviewed, focusing specifically on sleep-dependent memory processing.

Sleep-Dependent Learning and Memory Consolidation

TL;DR: This review will provide evidence of sleep-dependent memory consolidation andSleep-dependent brain plasticity and is divided into five sections: an overview of sleep stages, memory categories, and the distinct stages of memory development.

Paradoxical sleep and memory storage processes.

TL;DR: The accumulated data suggest that the events occurring during the paradoxical sleep phase play an integral part in memory storage processes in two ways: provide conditions which facilitate the conversion of a learned response into a stable long-term memory, and actively maintain the stability of a consolidated memory trace.

Sleep and Memory

TL;DR: The results suggest that, at least for humans, REM sleep does not facilitate memory consolidation and that stage 4 sleep may be beneficial to memory.
