About sleep's role in memory. (2013, background): “It is important to note here that sleep, and particularly SWS, has been likewise identified as a factor critically involved in the formation of long-term memories in the neurobehavioral domain (292).”
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).”
The restless engram: consolidations never end. (2012, background): “ACSH adds that step 2 benefits from sleep (Diekelmann & Born 2010a).”
Sleep-Dependent Reactivation of Ensembles in Motor Cortex Promotes Skill Consolidation (2015, result): “This hypothesis is largely consistent with theoretical models for how NREM sleep promotes learning more generally [20– 22,26–29], but to our knowledge, there is little experimental support of this during procedural memory formation.”
The molecular and systems biology of memory. (2014, unknown): “This is the ‘‘active consolidation in sleep hypothesis’’ of Diekelmann and Born (2010).”
