abstract:Memory is the cognitive process whereby experiences, learning and recognition are recalled. Memory “formation” is a product of brain plasticity, the structural changes within synapses that create associations between stimuli.
Especiallyas the in-depthunderstandingofthedifferentsleepstates, the mechanism of memory, and the relationship betweensleep andmemoryincreasinglybecomethe focus of the study.
She added this could specifically help medical and military training and further research could be carried out to see if sleep loss affected other brain andmemory functions in a similar way.
This work shows that sleep trains the brain and promotes memory reorganisation from the hippocampus to the striatum, meaning that navigation becomes more automatic.
