Replay in Deep Learning: Current Approaches and Missing Biological Elements (2021, neutral): “Indeed, procedural, presumably hippocampus-independent memories, such as some motor tasks (Fogel & Smith, 2006), can be learned without forgetting old skills and replayed during REM sleep when the hippocampus is effectively disconnected from the neocortex.”
About sleep's role in memory. (2013, background): “There is consistent evidence for an involvement of stage 2 sleep and sleep spindles in motor learning (139, 396, 822, 862, 921), and memory for a simple motor task is impaired after selective stage 2 sleep deprivation (1112, 1117).”
The Role of Sleep in Cognition and Emotion (2009, background): “Even the study of mental activity (dreams) from REM sleep indicates that there is not a concrete episodic replay of daytime experiences, but instead, a much more associative process of semantic integration during sleep (Fosse et al. 2003).”
Can sleep protect memories from catastrophic forgetting? (2019, positive): “Following a period of motor task learning, the 501 duration of NREM sleep (Fogel and Smith, 2006) and the number of sleep spindles (Morin et al.”
Sleep spindles predict neural and behavioral changes in motor sequence consolidation (2013, background): “On the one hand, several groups of researchers including ours have reported sizeable alterations in spindle characteristics on the night following training on a procedural motor memory task [Barakat et al., 2010; Fogel and Smith, 2006; Fogel et al., 2007b; Morin et al., 2008; Peters et al., 2007,200”
Sleeping on the motor engram: The multifaceted nature of sleep‐related motor memory consolidation (2017, neutral): “In line with these results, it has also been shown that learning a continuous tracking task resulted in increased stage N2 sleep, sleep spindle density and duration as well as slow sleep spindle power (Fogel et al., 2007; Fogel and Smith, 2006).”
Daytime Naps, Motor Memory Consolidation and Regionally Specific Sleep Spindles (2007, background): “Regarding procedural motor memory, several studies have demonstrated that the extent of initial learning, and the subsequent offline enhancement, commonly correlate with non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, and neurophysiological characteristics of NREM [4–8], although see [9].”
The memory function of sleep (2010, background): “Studies in rats and humans showed increases in spindle density and activity during non-REM sleep and SWS after learning of both declarative tasks and procedural motor skill”
