Sleeping on the motor engram: The multifaceted nature of sleep‐related motor memory consolidation (2017, unknown): “, 2013) – which are known to participate in sleep-dependent memory consolidation [(Fogel and Smith, 2011); see”
Daytime Sleep Enhances Consolidation of the Spatial but Not Motoric Representation of Motor Sequence Memory (2013, background): “Thus, our study confirms a correlation between sleep spindle activity and offline motor sequence memory consolidation [36] and specifies its involvement in the processing of the allocentric representation of the motor sequence.”
The restless engram: consolidations never end. (2012, background): “Spindles appear to be most closely linked to the sleep-induced improvement in memory and cortical integration of new information into preexisting knowledge networks (Fogel and Smith, 2011; Studte et al., 2015; Tamminen et al., 2010; Friedrich et al., 2015).”
