0089 Predicting Sleep-dependent Memory Consolidation From Neural Activity During Initial Encoding

[摘要] IntroductionA large body of evidence has shown that sleep plays a critical role in the consolidation of memories, a process facilitated in part by sleep spindles, a hallmark feature of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. It is less clear how the brain selects and prioritizes which memories get consolidated during sleep. Here, we used EEG to identify neural activity during initial memory encoding that can be used to predict subsequent memory consolidation during sleep. We focused on oscillations in the theta (4-8Hz) frequency band, due to its role in memory encoding and retrieval processes.
