Memory reactivation underlies experience-dependent adaptive regulation of sleep | Science Another win for chemogenetics science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Memory reactivation underlies experience-dependent adaptive regulation of sleep

Recent memories are consolidated during sleep by spontaneous reactivation. However, whether and how memory reactivation affects sleep dynamics remain unclear. By tracking and modulating memory...
