It is certified that the time zones of the sleep play an important role in the formation and maintenance of memories. British and German researchers have revealed that recalling and reactivating lived experiences helps rebuild memories in the human brain.
Our primary means of reinforcing memories during sleep is to reactivate experiences or notions we have learned while awake, allowing the memories to solidify in neocortical long-term memory. We have discovered a complex interaction system in the brain that enables this reactivation.
Bernhard Staresina, professor at the University of Birmingham
To conduct the research, the team conducted new tests. They planned to provide information before the test participants took a nap. During the nap, the brain was then monitored by means of an encephalogram. When they woke up they had to call up information provided for bedtime. A way to test the participants’ ability, linked to sleep, to store notes.
Memory reactivation is specifically related to the presence of slow oscillations. These findings shed new light on the function of sleep for memory in humans, highlighting the importance of regular sleep patterns to enhance our ability to recall well-constructed memories.
Thomas Schreiner of the Ludwig-Maximilians University
The results of the test indicated a reactivation of the experiences already lived in the course of alternating slow/fused sleep oscillations. The intertwining of these two different brain activities reveals the intensity of the reactivation. In addition, it predicts the level of memory consolidation human.
