Replay in Deep Learning: Current Approaches and Missing Biological Elements (2021, neutral): “Consolidation of the hippocampus independent short-term memory, such as emotional and procedural memory, is also enhanced by sleep (McGaugh, 2000; Hu, Stylos-Allan, & Walker, 2006; Payne, Stickgold, Swan-berg, & Kensinger, 2008; Wagner et al., 2001).”
Overnight Therapy? The Role of Sleep in Emotional Brain Processing (2009, background): “Wagner, Gais, and Born (2001) showed that sleep selectively favors the retention of previously learned emotional texts relative to neutral texts and that this affective memory benefit is only present following late-night sleep (a time period rich in REM sleep).”

Sleep facilitates memory by blocking dopamine neuron mediated forgetting (2015, neutral): “Since the earliest experimental studies of human memory (Ebbinghaus, 1885/1913), sleep shortly after learning has been shown to consistently lead to an increase in retention and thus less forgetting of many forms of memory including declarative and emotional memory in mammals (Jenkins and Dallenbach”

The Role of Sleep in Emotional Brain Function (2014, background): “Early work demonstrated that such offline emotional memory consolidation could be attributed to late-night sleep, a time period rich in REM sleep (Wagner et al 2001).”
Sleep Preferentially Enhances Memory for Emotional Components of Scenes (2008, background): “In their study of sleep and emotional memory, Wagner et al. (2001) found that memory for negative arousing narratives was facilitated after 3 hr of late-night sleep, which is rich in REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.1 As REM sleep intensely activates Address correspondence to Jessica D.

Processing of emotional reactivity and emotional memory over sleep (2012, neutral): “In contrast to previous studies (Wagner et al., 2001; Payne et al., 2008), sleep did not preferentially act on memory for emotionally negative items over neutral items.”
The Role of Sleep in Cognition and Emotion (2009, background): “Wagner and colleagues (Wagner et al. 2001) have also shown that sleep selectively favors the retention of previously learned emotional texts relative to neutral texts, and that this affective memory benefit is only present following late-night sleep (a time period rich in stage-2 NREM and REM…”
