In the model, Recurrency and Episodic Memory Results in Generalization (REMERGE), Kumaran and McClelland [109] suggest that generalization arises from the replay of recent memories in hippocampal CA1 cells. To address this question, we examine the neurophysiological correlates of both recognition and associative memory in the medial temporal lobe of humans, monkeys, and rats. Neurophysiological Basis of Selective Memory and Forgetting over Sleep. [62] demonstrated this using a go/no-go task where one song segment served as a “go” cue and responses were rewarded with food access while another song segment served as a “no-go” cue and responses to it were punished with an interval of lights out. By recording in the hippocampus while an animal explores a maze, a “brain map” of space is revealed. Like K-complexes, spindles have also been associated with sleep maintenance [25, 26] yet physiologically spindles and K-complexes are quite distinct. Rather, specific neurophysiological events are likely to underlie specific changes in cognitive functions associated with sleep.

However, most studies of neural replay are based on well-learned behaviors, lacking direct support for replay’s role in new memory consolidation. Unbeknownst to the participants, the value of items within a set was determined by its position within a hierarchy (e.g., A>B>C>D). Participants are presented with words and, after a brief interval (e.g., 500 ms), are instructed to “remember” or “forget” the previous word. An emerging area of research, sleep cognitive neuroscience, has provided ample evidence that this brain activity is functional. This “hobby” led Crick and his colleague, Graeme Mitchison, at the Sulk Institute to a largely theoretical proposal suggesting that sleep benefits forgetting [120]. neurophysiological, and psychological mechanisms of the different types of memory. Emotionally, he was depressed. Slow oscillations, which are likely distinct from the visible delta waves [29], represent widespread alternation between depolarized “up-states” and hyperpolarized “down-states” [30]. This has been seen in studies of adolescents [54] and young children [55, 56]. While synaptic downscaling following sleep has been repeatedly demonstrated, the mechanism and timing of synaptic downscaling is uncertain. This is consistent with NREM brain activity in parahippocampal gyrus [3], an area of the brain associated with memory encoding. In this task, the participant is given a template outlining a figure (e.g., a star) and the participant must trace this outline viewing their hand and the trajectory only through a mirror, requiring visuomotor adaptation. When children learn a matrix of locations in a visuospatial task in the morning, memory is superior in the afternoon following a mid-day nap compared to memory following an equivalent interval awake [57]. Generalization over sleep cannot be explained by simple neural replay or spindle induced cortical plasticity. Regardless of the most recently traversed paths, the neural ensemble associated with both rewarded maze paths were replayed during the subsequent rest period. This latter result suggests that sleep’s role was not merely through passive protection of the memory but played an active role, resulting in a more stable memory that was resistant to interference. While subsequent studies have emphasized that over-sleep performance changes may not reflect enhancement per se [140, 141], sleep-dependent stabilization of performance has been replicated across many studies [142–145]. Rebecca M. C. Spencer, "Neurophysiological Basis of Sleep’s Function on Memory and Cognition", International Scholarly Research Notices, vol. REM bouts lengthen over the night as SWS is replaced by NREM-2. During subsequent REM sleep, these primed memories are then generalized via theta wave facilitated corticocortical processing in association areas with minimal hippocampal or dorsolateral prefrontal cortex contributions. We examined sleep’s role in remembering and forgetting by having participants either sleep or stay awake following the encoding and retrieval practice phases of this task [124]. By inference of A’s and C’s relationship to B in this example, participants can choose the correct item even in these never before seen pairs. According to Lewis and Durrant’s [108] Information Overlap to Abstract (iOta) model, reactivation of two memories that share an overlapping concept will result in strengthening the areas of overlap, which may represent the “gist.”. Although knowledge of molecular mechanisms is important for constructing a complete vision of memory models, in this article we can only point out general traits as summarized in this introduction [for more information see (Kandel et … After sleep, long-term memory for the training experience (i.e., reduced courtship) was present whereas no such memory for the courtship training was evident when sleep was not induced. This “sleep to forget” hypothesis remained largely theoretical until very recently when a series of behavioral studies have tested its validity. Rats that were awake for the majority of a 6 hr dark period (rats are nocturnal) had high levels of GluR1-containing AMPA receptors while rats that were asleep during the majority of a 6 hr light period had low levels. Sharp wave/ripple events are associated with the occurrence of sleep spindles in the neocortex [79]. Rather, REM cycles with NREM2. Such benefits are thought to, at least in part, stem from consolidation of recent memories and episodes. This paper presents behavioral evidence for sleep’s role in selective … There is evidence that in this latter part of sleep, with declarative memories sufficiently consolidated, processing of motor memories begins to be predominant [139, 147]. Second, REM sleep is associated with impaired performance on a logic task (Wff “n” Proof) [110]. Emotion provides another source of future relevance. Yet, the behavioral data reviewed above suggests that nonemotional, nonamygdala activating memories can also be parsed for future relevance during consolidation. Source: Modified from Shomrat et al.32 - "The Neurophysiological Basis of Learning and Memory in Advanced Invertebrates: The Octopus and the Cuttlefish" FIGURE 24.6 Long-term potentiation at the MSF-to-amacrine connections differs dramatically in octopus (left) and cuttlefish (right). A comparison of performance for a “morning” group, who performed the entire task in the morning, and an “evening” group, who performed the full task in the evening, revealed no group differences. This nap benefit was observed both when the nap took place immediately and when the nap took place 90 mins after encoding. Born, F. Hohagen, and K. Junghanns, “Immediate as well as delayed post learning sleep but not wakefulness enhances declarative memory consolidation in children,”, I. Wilhelm, S. Diekelmann, and J. Walker and Stickgold [14] proposed that REM sleep supports memory unitization (the binding of elements into a single representation), memory assimilation (the integration of new information into existing concepts or schema), and memory abstraction (the isolation of concepts or schema from new information). Moreover, memory consolidation is greater over intervals with sleep compared to intervals with wake even at a young age. Stage 2 of NREM (NREM-2) sleep follows and is characterized by the appearance of K-complexes and sleep spindles on a background of theta activity. Eventually he became incoherent [1]. Reactivation of neural “songs” associated with waking experiences (i.e., replay) may be a mechanism underlying sleep-dependent consolidation. REM’s discovery is another noteworthy tale in the history of sleep research. Interestingly, this increase was most prominent in the neural ensembles with the greatest theta and gamma activity during intervening REM. There are dissociative disorders in which medical testing is required to rule out neurophysiological factors that can mimic the effects of deeper, organic … First, explicit awareness of what is being learned in a procedural task is likely to engage cognitive control utilizing hippocampal resources [154]. This model will be useful in developing future behavioral and physiological studies to test predictions that emerge. Rather than just triggering local long-term potentiation and replaying within the hippocampus, slow wave/ripple events are associated with transfer of memories from temporary storage in the hippocampus to more permanent storage in the cortex. Participants practice recalling word pairs with cues directing them to recall half of the original pairs (e.g., EGG-B___, EGG-T___, and EGG-C___). However, few recent papers have integrated human behavior with neurophysiological results, which largely emerge from animal research. Born and G. B. Feld, “Sleep to upscale, sleep to downscale: balancing homeostasis and plasticity,”, F. Crick and G. Mitchison, “The function of dream sleep,”, M. C. Anderson, R. A. Bjork, and E. L. Bjork, “Remembering can cause forgetting: retrieval dynamics in long-term memory,”, A. E. Woodward and R. A. Bjork, “Forgetting and remembering in free recall: intentional and unintentional,”, B. Rasch and colleagues found superior recall following sleep when the odor present during learning was represented during sleep. Word pairs are composed of targets paired with six associated words (e.g., EGG-BACON, EGG-TOAST, EGG-CHICKEN, EGG-EASTER, EGG-OMELET, and EGG-YOLK). Working Memory: Neurophysiological Basis, Development, and Plasticity. While this proposal is not completely unique (e.g., see [108, 119, 164–166]), we conjoin features of various models with recent data to provide a more integrated account than what has previously been possible. However, what is most striking is that some neural ensembles recorded during rest were associated with never experienced shortcuts. Marked changes in neural activity and the neurochemical amalgam allow for cognitive processing to occur in ways that are not possible over wake. For instance, the over-sleep change in performance on the probabilistic tone sequence learning task was associated with time spent in SWS. REM sleep is characterized by rapid ocular saccades and muscle atonia. Previous studies have demonstrated that recall of the practiced pairs is enhanced in conjunction with forgetting of unpracticed pairs (e.g., [121, 123]). Born, “Odor cues during slow-wave sleep prompt declarative memory consolidation,”, J. D. Rudoy, J. L. Voss, C. E. Westerberg, and K. A. Paller, “Strengthening individual memories by reactivating them during sleep,”, S. K. Rhodes, K. C. Shimoda, L. R. Waid et al., “Neurocognitive deficits in morbidly obese children with obstructive sleep apnea,”, G. Stores, “Psychosocial impact of narcolepsy in children and adolescents,” in, R. P. Millman, “Excessive sleepiness in adolescents and young adults: causes, consequences, and treatment strategies,”, S. Gais, B. Lucas, and J. Importantly, this process may not occur in a single, SWS-dependent step but may rely on REM-SWS sequences. This high level of brain activity is particularly evident in the thalamus, anterior cingulate cortex, parietal operculum, and amygdala and has been associated with the vivid and imaginative dreams that are typical in this sleep stage [33]. Performance on this visuospatial learning task shows similar sleep benefits to those seen in word-pair learning: participants recalled the location of more items following sleep than following an equivalent period spent awake [49, 50]. Recently, Lau and colleagues [96] taught English-speaking individuals sets of Chinese characters that shared ideographic components. These results suggest that hippocampal replay may be adapted to serve both a preparatory role (forward preplay in anticipation of an experience) and an exploratory role (recently explored sequences via reverse replay). A parsimonious alternative is that SWS and REM play a sequential role in memory consolidation and generalization. In SWS that follows REM, memories tagged during REM are integrated with recent memories, particularly those nodes strengthened by local integration in the prior SWS epoch. In one such study [49], participants performed a visuospatial task requiring learning of a matrix of images. In a similar vein, Durrant and colleagues [98] described this inference function as statistical extraction. In Section 11 we will return to this issue, discussing how segregation in REM relates to memory consolidation in SWS. Memory disruption following traumatic brain injury. Unlike the retrieval induced forgetting paradigm, the directed forgetting paradigm uses an explicit approach to forgetting. This was demonstrated by Ramadan and colleagues [75] who, using a similar spatial memory task as Girardeau and colleagues [73], found that animals with the greatest ripple density in sleep following learning made the fewest errors in subsequent recall of the spatial memory task. In years since a taxonomy of memory has been established that largely distinguishes declarative learning (learning of facts and events) from motor skill learning and other forms of procedural learning [138]. From histology of the encephalitis lethargica brains, von Economo identified a lesioned area, between the midbrain and the diencephalon, as critical to arousal. Sleep spindles are brief bursts (approximately  .5 secs) of very high frequency waves (11–16 Hz) [22]. In fact, this region is centered to both a wake-promoting pathway and a sleep-promoting pathway [19]. Z. A. Hobson, “The neurobiology of sleep: genetics, cellular physiology and subcortical networks,”, H. Kametani and H. Kawamura, “Alterations in acetylcholine release in the rat hippocampus during sleep-wakefulness detected by intracerebral dialysis,”, M. E. Hasselmo, “Neuromodulation: acetylcholine and memory consolidation,”, M. P. Walker, “A refined model of sleep and the time course of memory formation,”, R. W. McCarley, “Neurobiology of REM and NREM sleep,”, J. G. Jenkins and K. M. Dallenbach, “Oblivescence during sleep and waking,”, S. Gais, G. Albouy, M. Boly et al., “Sleep transforms the cerebral trace of declarative memories,”, L. Marshall, M. Mölle, M. Hallschmid, and J. In fact, ripple density directly correlates with subsequent performance. The mollusks therefore provide an excellent opportunity for assessing conservation and convergent processes in the evolution and development of learning and memory systems subserving complex behaviors. In one such study, Nissen and colleagues [149] had participants trace figures prior to sleep (e.g., 8 pm) or prior to a daytime wake (e.g., 8 am). These examples all capture what may be more broadly characterized as generalization. These REM-impaired individuals had less sleep-related performance improvement than those with normal REM. Importantly, however, hippocampal activity precedes cortical activity, consistent with the theory that memories are transferred from hippocampus to neocortex [79, 86]. Rather, the brain cycles through a number of physiological states over the typical sleep period. With the wealth of evidence in support of this function of sleep, it is useful to turn to understanding how memories are consolidated in the brain and why this takes place during sleep. Cognitive neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, gerontologists, psychiatrists, and neurobiologists will find The Neurobiological Basis of Memory both enlightening … The density of ripples is also modulated by learning, further supporting a mnemonic role of ripples. Participants were equally capable of finding the critical association following a nap and quiet wake. The neurophysiology underlying memories that are unconscious (i.e. We can only speculate as to the cause of the increase in global synaptic potentiation as evidenced by the increased excitability reported by Grosmark and colleagues [118]. This benefit of sleep was nearly equivalent for the 6–8 yr old children and young adults (average of 26 yrs). Copyright © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. However, from the available literature, we can conjecture as to how motor skill learning might consolidate over sleep. Sleep’s role in memory consolidation is observed throughout development. Adult humans cycle through these states at a rate of 90 mins per cycle [20]. Selective memory consolidation and generalization of declarative, procedural and emotional memories have vast impacts on waking cognitive performance. Subsequently, Skaggs and McNaughton [66] found that not only was the same neural ensemble active, but cells were reactivated in the same order during sleep as they were during waking behavior. During exploration, the pattern of neural firing in hippocampal CA1 and CA3 cells, known as “place cells,” is predictable as these cells exhibit an increased firing rate when the animal is in a particular location in space [64]. Thus, while some have argued against an active role of sleep in memory via consolidation [9, 88, 89], neurophysiological studies support such a role of sleep in memory.

Nusbaum, and D. Margoliash, “Sleep-dependent consolidation of auditory discrimination learning in adult starlings,”, G. Martin-Ordas and J. Multielectrode recordings in the hippocampus of rodents have provided insight into the mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of sleep on memory. If sleep merely passively protected memories from interference from ongoing sensory input, many of these associations with sleep physiology would not be expected. Chauvette and colleagues [117] recorded local field potentials in somatosensory cortex in response to stimulation of the medial lemniscus (i.e., cortical evoked response) before and after SWS. It is hypothesized that the representation of learning cues during sleep primes certain memories to be preferentially replayed. K-complexes are composed of a brief negative sharp wave followed immediately by a positive inflection, taking place within  .5 secs [22]. Several studies have observed replay in which the sequence of neural firing was in reverse order from the sequence recorded during recent exploration [103, 104]. To answer this, consider that replay is not isolated to hippocampal place cells.

Over-sleep changes in motor skill learning correlate with time spent in late NREM2 sleep [139] and NREM2 spindles [147]. Thus, we propose that the level of engagement of the hippocampus during encoding can account for discrepancies in the literature regarding consolidation of motor skill learning. Replay is nested within sharp wave/ripple events. We tested whether hippocampal engagement at encoding might predict the presence of later sleep-dependent consolidation of motor skill learning. We will return to the interaction between SWS and REM in Section 11. Although the field is in its infancy, there has been rapid progress in identify- ing the neural basis of many social behaviors (Adolphs, 2003; Heatherton, Macrae, and Kelley, 2004). Eugene Aserinsky, a graduate student under Nathanial Kleitman, devised a way to record eye movements during sleep with the intent to study blink rate at sleep onset. Brawn et al. Meanwhile, the minutia of our day is filtered out, making room for emotional memories and academic material that will come in handy later (e.g., [173]). Following an intersession interval awake, performance did not improve significantly. Rather, memories with future relevance, either for their rewarding (doing well on the forewarned delayed recall) or protective (steer clear of a person who is a threat) influence, are preferentially maintained over sleep. Consistent with a role of sleep in generalization from veridical memories, the authors found that novel tone sequences that were statistically similar to learned sequences were better recognized following both overnight sleep and a mid-day nap relative to equivalent intervals of wake. Shank and Margoliash [61] found that incorporation of the tutor song was the greatest following intervals containing sleep. Interest in Ebbinghaus’s observation emerged very briefly in 1924 when John Jenkins and Karl Dallenbach at Cornell University deliberately compared “obliviscence” (i.e., forgetting) over sleep and wake intervals. In fact, without such downscaling of synaptic weights, the brain would literally run out of capacity. Ours [4, 7] and other [42–44] studies have ruled out this alternative explanation.
