Replay in Deep Learning: Current Approaches and Missing Biological Elements (2021, neutral): “…to occur during slow-wave sleep, but it also occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (Louie and Wilson, 2001; Eckert, McNaughton, & Tatsuno, 2020; Kudrimoti, Barnes, & McNaughton, 1999) and while awake, potentially to facilitate the retrieval of recent memories (Walker & Stickgold, 2004).”
The molecular and systems biology of memory. (2014, neutral): “The evidence for the role of sleep in consolidation of implicitly acquired sensory and motor skills was initially considered more robust than that for other types of memory (Walker and Stickgold, 2004).”
Disruption of ripple-associated hippocampal activity during rest impairs spatial learning in the rat (2009, background): “Many studies investigating the role of sleep in learning used sleep deprivation protocols, sometimes restricted to a specific sleep stage (Smith, 1995; Walker and Stickgold, 2004).”
Sleeping under the risk of predation (2005, background): “However, severe REM sleep deprivation may well cause problems with memory consolidation (Walker & Stickgold 2004; but see Vertes 2004) and perhaps a shift in REM sleep to the earlier portions of a sleep bout.”
Continual Semantic Segmentation Leveraging Image-level Labels and Rehearsal (2022, background): “…the past representations can be extracted from many different layers; and 3) it is more biologically plausible than re-playing raw images, by mimicking a more realistic activity of the brain similar to how neural pathways are reactivated during memory consolidation [ Walker and Stickgold, 2004 ] .”
Sleep-dependent memory consolidation and reconsolidation. (2007, background): “The fact that this effect is only seen during SWS-rich periods early in the night, rather than across all sleep periods, argues that the physiological state of sleep, and of particular stages of sleep, are critical for this consolidation process [38].”
Sleep, memory, and plasticity. (2006, background): “In this section, we consider a mounting wealth of data describing sleep-dependent brain plasticity; our focus is on neuroimaging studies in humans (see Walker & Stickgold 2004 for a detailed discussion of cellular and molecular data).”
Causes and consequences of sleepiness among college students (2014, neutral): “A nap prevented this decrement in performance.(96,97) In short, naps may enhance certain cognitive and performance tasks, but further research is still needed in this important area.”
Overnight Therapy? The Role of Sleep in Emotional Brain Processing (2009, background): “…characterized at two different stages of memory: (a) before learning, in the initial formation (encoding) of new information and (b) after learning, in the long-term solidification (consolidation) of new memories (Marshall & Born, 2007; M. P. Walker, 2009; M. P. Walker & Stickgold, 2004, 2006).”
20 years later: deliberate practice and the development of expertise in sport (2014, result): “The notion of deliberate recovery appears to be a ripe area for research, and is in keeping with recent calls to understand the mechanisms of off-line motor learning during restful states (Korman et al., 2007; Walker & Stickgold, 2004).”
Sleep and synaptic renormalization: a computational study. (2010, background): “As 865 shown in studies in both animals and humans, if subjects are allowed to sleep their ability to learn is 866 restored to normal levels (Walker & Stickgold 2004).”
