Causal evidence for the role of REM sleep theta rhythm in contextual memory consolidation (2016, background): “An increase in the rate of microcephaly in Brazil has been associated with the recent outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) (4, 5), a flavivirus that is transmitted by mosquitoes (6) and sexually (7–9).”
Remembered experiences and revisit intentions: A longitudinal study of safari park visitors (2016, background): “…emotionality and stress during the encoding of significant experiences (as a result of hormones such as epinephrine) (McGaugh and Roozendaal, 2002), quality of sleep (Walker et al., 2005), mental replay of experiences (Vertes, 2004), and the new and unique nature of the experience (Wixsted, 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.”
