Sleep and synaptic renormalization: a computational study. (2010, background): “…of 73 recent findings concerning molecular, electrophysiological, and behavioral correlates of sleep suggest 74 that sleep may be especially involved in modulating plastic processes in the central nervous system (P 75 Maquet 2001; Stickgold 2005; Walker & Stickgold 2006; Diekelmann & Born 2010).”
Air pollution as a cause of sleeplessness: Social media evidence from a panel of Chinese cities (2019, background): “Loss of sleep reduces mental function along various dimensions, such as learning (Huber et al., 2004), memory (Diekelmann and Born, 2010), judgement (Killgore et al., 2006), speed of reflex (Maquet, 2001) and emotional balance (Ireland and Culpin, 2006).”
Contributions of the basal ganglia and functionally related brain structures to motor learning. (2009, neutral): “, [3,22,40,88,93]), discover by trial and error [53–55,89,106], or acquire through probabilistic rules [68,82].”
Biological underpinnings for lifelong learning machines (2022, background): “Strong experimental evidence has been accumulated in support of a role for replay in memory consolidation in the brain 46–50 , and there is a wealth of data indicating that sleep is critically important for learning and memory 51 .”
