This study shows that hunger and sleep use different brain systems to form spatial memory, with hunger relying on the retrosplenial cortex and sleep on hippocampal mechanisms.

This study shows that sleep in juvenile rats supports schema memory formation without requiring mature episodic memory expression.

This study inhibits hippocampal activity during specific sleep phases in rats and shows that memory consolidation requires hippocampal engagement during cortical slow oscillation upstates.

The paper reveals that hippocampal and neocortical sharp-wave ripples have distinct functional roles during sleep, with hippocampal ripples promoting information transfer and neocortical ripples reducing interference.
