Sleep Preferentially Enhances Memory for Emotional Components of Scenes (2008, background): “Training on such episodic memory tasks has been shown to modify the architecture of subsequent sleep stages (Gais, Molle, Helms, & Born, 2002) and to promote the reactivation of neural ensembles during posttraining sleep—effects that often correlate with memory improvement (Peigneux et al., 2004).”
The memory function of sleep (2010, background): “Sleep-dependent signs of re-activation in brain regions implicated in prior learning were also shown in human neuroimaging studie”
Sleep-dependent consolidation of auditory discrimination learning in adult starlings (2010, background): “…performance benefits in humans have been demonstrated broadly, appearing in declarative (Ellenbogen et al., 2006; Fenn et al., 2009), spatial (Peigneux et al., 2004; Talamini et al., 2008), perceptual (Gais et al., 2000; Fenn et al., 2003), motor (Walker et al., 2002; Huber et al., 2004;…”
The organization of recent and remote memories (2005, background): “More direct evidence comes from demonstrations that patterns of brain activity that are associated with earlier learning are selectively replayed during subsequent sleep in human”
The effects of physical activity on sleep: a meta-analytic review (2015, background): “Research also suggests that slow wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep may be especially important for memory consolidation (Diekelmann & Born, 2010; Peigneux et al., 2004) and rapid eye movement sleep additionally important for emotional memory processing (Walker & van der Helm, 2009).”
Sleep for cognitive enhancement (2014, methodology): “Reactivation of learning-associated brain activation patterns during sleep is also observed in humans, for example following training on a spatial navigation task (Peigneux et al., 2004) as well as a procedural serial reaction time task (Maquet et al., 2000).”
Sleep and synaptic renormalization: a computational study. (2010, methodology): “…occur if during sleep slow waves were partially suppressed using mild acoustic stimuli 124 (Landsness et al. 2009, see also Aeschbach et al. 2008), suggesting that SWA may not merely reflect 125 synaptic plasticity, but also influence it (Peigneux et al. 2004; Rasch et al. 2007; Rasch & Born 2007).”
Strengthening Procedural Memories by Reactivation in Sleep (2014, background): “maze learning is reexpressed during postlearning sleep, and the amount of this reactivation predicts later memory performance (Peigneux et al., 2004).”
