Whole-body procedural learning benefits from targeted memory reactivation in REM sleep and task-related dreaming.

Neurobiology of Learning and Memory September 1, 2021 Claudia Picard-Deland, Tomy Aumont, Arnaud Samson-Richer et al.

Sleep facilitates memory consolidation through offline reactivations of memory traces. Dreaming may play a role in memory improvement and may reflect these memory reactivations. To experimentally address this question, we used targeted memory reactivation (TMR), i.e., application, during sleep, of a stimulus that was previously associated with learning, to assess whether it influences...
