Memory and Sleep
Sleep-dependent motor memory plasticity in the human brain.
Neuroscience. 2005;133(4):911-7
This evidence of an overnight, systems-level change in the representation of a motor memory holds important implications for acquiring real-life skills and in clinical rehabilitation following brain trauma, such as stroke.
Functional Imaging of Working Memory after 24 Hr of Total Sleep Deprivation
J Neurosci. 2004 May 12;24(19):4560-7
Our findings provide neural correlates to explain why task performance in relatively more complex tasks is better preserved relative to simpler ones after SD.
