Cognitive replay of visuomotor learning at sleep onset: temporal dynamics and relationship to task performance.
Sleep 2010 Erin J. Wamsley, Karen Perry, Ina Djonlagic et al.
Studies of neural activity in animals and humans suggest that experiences are "replayed" in cortical and hippocampal networks during NREM sleep. Here, we examine whether memory reactivation in sleeping humans might also be evident within reports of concomitant subjective experience (i.e., dreaming). Participants were trained on an engaging visuomotor learning task across a period of one or more...
