Firing Without Wiring: How REM-like Sleep Reactivation Rebalances Excitation and Inhibition to Orthogonalize Memories
Yoshimasa Kubo, Erik Delanois, Bazhenov Maxim
This study uses recurrent neural networks to show that REM-like sleep reduces memory interference by decorrelating task-specific neuronal populations and reactivating memory traces through synaptic pruning.
