The contribution of sleep to hippocampus-dependent memory consolidation. (2007, methodology): “Adapted with permission from reference [ 51 ].”
The reorganization and reactivation of hippocampal maps predict spatial memory performance (2010, positive): “…traces is thought to be promoted during sleep and inactive waking periods 7 , 9 , 10 , 18 , 19 and manipulations designed to enhance sleep-related brain activity by reinstating the contextual cues experienced during learning improve the subsequent retention of a hippocampus-dependent task 20 .”
Sleeping on the motor engram: The multifaceted nature of sleep‐related motor memory consolidation (2017, neutral): “Reactivation of hippocampal activity during post-learning sleep (i.e., recordings while participants sleep) has long been described to play a crucial role in the consolidation of hippocampal-dependent declarative memory (Peigneux et al., 2004; Rasch et al., 2007).”
Persistent schema-dependent hippocampal-neocortical connectivity during memory encoding and postencoding rest in humans (2010, background): “In humans, comparable reactivation of hippocampal memory-related activity has been observed during SWS by using fMRI (23).”
Strengthening Procedural Memories by Reactivation in Sleep (2014, background): “Interestingly, presentation of the odor during wakefulness was not effective (Rasch et al., 2007).”
Slow-Wave Sleep-Imposed Replay Modulates Both Strength and Precision of Memory (2014, background): “Furthermore, although sensory input is reduced during SWS, exposure during SWS to contextual cues associated with the learning event can enhance memory consolidation, perhaps by enhancing the effectiveness of replay (Rasch et al., 2007; Bendor and Wilson, 2012).”
Replication and Analysis of Ebbinghaus’ Forgetting Curve (2015, result): “This effect has since been replicated many times, for example in recent studies on the effects of different sleep stages on both procedural and declarative memory (e.g., [51,52 – 56]).”
Slow-wave sleep and the consolidation of long-term memory (2010, positive): “In one study (Rasch et al. 2007), odour stimulation was used to induce reactivations of newly encoded memories in the hippocampus during SWS, and in another (Marshall et al. 2006), electrical stimulation was used to induce slow oscillations in the neocortex during SWS.”
Sleep for cognitive enhancement (2014, background): “Re-exposure of a memory-associated odor during SWS activated hippocampal and neocortical brain regions (Rasch et al., 2007; Diekelmann et al., 2011), and presenting memory-related sounds during SWS increased activation in the parahippocampal cortex which predicted subsequent recall performance (van…”
Sleep and the Price of Plasticity: From Synaptic and Cellular Homeostasis to Memory Consolidation and Integration (2014, result): “…of a particular memory in the down-selection phase results in a selective enhancement of that memory, in line with experimental results showing the benefits of cuing during sleep (Antony et al., 2012; Bendor and Wilson, 2012; Diekelmann et al., 2011; Rasch et al., 2007; Rudoy et al., 2009).”
Memory consolidation. (2015, background): “In a conceptually related study (Rasch et al. 2007), cueing recently formed odor-card associations by odor reexposure during slow-wave sleep, but not during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, increased hippocampal activity (as measured 6 Cite this article as Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol…”
