Westchester, Ill.— A study in the Oct. 1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that the successful manipulation of sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) amplitude by instrumental SMR conditioning (ISC) improved sleep ...

Students practice a procedural skill—knot tying—to investigate if and in what way sleep affects learning and memory in relation to a learning a procedural skill. Sleeping is a behavior that is natural ...

Human infants devote the majority of their time to sleeping. However, very little is known about the role of sleep in early memory processing. Here we test 6-and 12-mo-old infants’ declarative memory ...

Learning while snoozing sounds like a dream come true (pun intended), but it’s not all that far-fetched. Keep reading to get the details on the role sleep plays in learning. Sleep is the secret sauce, ...

Memory formation, storage, and retrieval are fundamental processes that define who we are and how we interact with the world. At the cellular level, these processes rely on specialized neurons called ...

A breakthrough imaging study has created conditions that allow for such direct comparison of simultaneous procedural and declarative learning. A team of physiologists used an MRI to discover whether ...

Sleep enhances generalization in adults, but this has not been examined in toddlers. This study examined the impact of napping versus wakefulness on the generalization of word learning in toddlers ...

New research brings us closer to understanding how learned information turns into reliable memories during sleep. Researchers have known about the close relationship between sleep and memory for ...
