The paper shows that silent hippocampal engrams, which persist without memory recall, enhance the consolidation of new memories when reactivated.

The paper shows that NREM and REM sleep play distinct roles in forming inferential knowledge, with NREM organizing learned information and REM computing inferences from it.

This study shows that short-term memory (STM) can persist as a silent engram for days and can be consolidated into long-term memory through re-exposure and sleep.

The paper shows that sleep co-reactivates relevant memories, enabling their assimilation and implicit learning.

This study shows that stress-induced glucocorticoid receptor activity in the amygdala modulates fear memory through GR-dependent synaptic plasticity mechanisms.

This study shows that inducing autophagy enhances memory destabilization and can overcome reconsolidation-resistant memories in animal models.
