lüll Sleep-dependent learning and memory consolidation Walker MP; Stickgold RNeuron 2004[Sep]; 44 (1): 121-33While the functions of sleep remain largely unknown, one of the most exciting and contentious hypotheses is that sleep contributes importantly to memory. A large number of studies offer a substantive body of evidence supporting this role of sleep in what is becoming known as sleep-dependent memory processing. This review will provide evidence of sleep-dependent memory consolidation and sleep-dependent brain plasticity and is divided into five sections: (1) an overview of sleep stages, memory categories, and the distinct stages of memory development; (2) a review of the specific relationships between sleep and memory, both in humans and animals; (3) a survey of evidence describing sleep-dependent brain plasticity, including human brain imaging studies as well as animal studies of cellular neurophysiology and molecular biology. We close (4) with a consideration of unanswered questions as well as existing arguments against the role of sleep in learning and memory and (5) a concluding summary.|Animals[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Learning/*physiology[MESH]|Memory/physiology[MESH]|Neuronal Plasticity/physiology[MESH]|Psychomotor Performance/physiology[MESH]|Sleep Deprivation/physiopathology[MESH]|Sleep/*physiology[MESH] |
