Sleep for cognitive enhancement (2014, background): “There are numerous studies showing that spindle activity as well as spindle density increase following learning (e.g., Gais et al., 2002; Schabus et al., 2004; Schmidt et al., 2006) and the number and activity of sleep spindles correlates with subsequent memory performance (e.”
The Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT) of intelligence: Converging neuroimaging evidence (2007, background): “More specifically, the declarative memories benefit from stage two of NREM sleep, as well as from the sleep spindles in this stage and their grouping by slow cortical oscillations (Clemens et al. 2005; Gais et al. 2002; Marshall et al. 2006; Schabus et al. 2004).”
Sleep spindle activity is associated with the integration of new memories and existing knowledge (2010, background): “Spindle activity is associated with memory performance, including consolidation of declarative memories (Schabus et al., 2004; Clemens et al., 2005; Schmidt et al., 2006).”
Processing of emotional reactivity and emotional memory over sleep (2012, neutral): “Such misperceptions have been observed by others (Carskadon et al., 1976; Silva et al., 2007).”
Echoes of Pink Noise: A Hypothesized Mechanism for Enhancing Sleep-Dependent Memory Consolidation with Auditory Stimulation (2025, unknown): “Similarly, both slow-wave sleep and spindle activity have been shown to correlate with memory consolidation (Holz et al. 2012; Mikutta et al. 2019; Schabus et al. 2004), and induction of slow waves through transcranial direct current stimulation enhanced the retention of word pairs (Marshall et al.…”
Targeting neural oscillations with transcranial alternating current stimulation (2021, background): “Sleep spindles are a well-known example of bursts of rhythmic activity that are critical for the consolidation of new memories (Schabus, 2004; Warby, 2014).”
