sleep research

sleep research

1. Memory

   • transference from hippocampus to medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) during sleep
   • Medial temporal lobe and implicit memory
   • implicit memory (non-declarative memory, motor memory or procedural memory)
   • Encoding, Consolidation and Retrieval
     • Declarative (hippocampal-dependant and non declarative (non-hippocampal) dependant memory
   • implicit vs explicit
   • recall vs, recognition
   • short vs. long term memory

2. sleep

   • duration
     • timing of sleep: relation to the circadian rhythm.
       • Delay between learning and sleep
         • nap vs full sleep. Day vs night sleep
   • Phases - N1, N2, N3, REM
   • EEG
     • theta and delta brainwaves
       • hippocampus/delta
         • medial septum-diagonal-Broca regulates theta in hippocampus

3. SWS vs REM at which phase does implicit memory become consolidated?

4. sequential hypothesis

5. Dual hypothesis theory
