Learning enhancement by sleep : closed-loop potentiation of slow oscillations during NREM sleep

Why is sleep important? It is considered that sleep is crucial for memory consolidation by strengthening and integrating labile new memory traces into pre-existing memory networks. 1 Without this process, newly learned information would be susceptible to forgetting. Sleep is classified into two stag...
