Enhancement of memory by auditory stimulation during postlearning REM sleep in humans
Abstract
REM sleep involvement in memory processes was demonstrated in animals and humans: 1) REM sleep deprivation impairs the memory fixation, 2) learning sessions are followed by modifications of REM sleep characteristics. Moreover, sleep patterns can be modified by applying auditory stimulations during REM sleep. We show that REM actual auditory stimulations significantly improve the retention of a Morse code learning task. These results are discussed in terms of brain activation.
