Memory processing: the critical role of neuronal replay during sleep
Abstract
Patterns of neuronal activity present during learning in the hippocampus are replayed during sleep. A new study highlights the functional importance of this neurophysiological phenomenon by showing that neuronal replay is critical for memory processing over a night of sleep.
