The paper shows that reactivation during sleep reduces overlap between neural representations of contextually linked memories, promoting object and context specificity.

The paper shows that re-emerging negative neural patterns during sleep and rest predict higher depressive symptoms.

The paper investigates how concurrent memory reactivation with odors and sounds during sleep affects memory consolidation, finding that some odors disrupt sound-induced memory benefits.

This study weakens aversive memories during sleep by reactivating positive memories, reducing recall and increasing positive memory intrusions.

This study compares the effects of conscious and unconscious memory reactivation on distal associations, finding consciousness-dependent and memory-strength-dependent outcomes.

The paper investigates how context influences memory consolidation during sleep by testing recall changes for non-cued objects linked to cued objects through spatial memory tasks.

The paper shows that presenting positive words during NREM sleep can reduce negative affect judgments of unwanted memories, associated with changes in theta and sigma brain activity.

The paper investigates memory consolidation during sleep by reactivating memories with sounds and measuring electrophysiological responses, finding gamma band activity correlates with memory improvement.

The paper develops an automated system for Targeted Memory Reactivation during sleep and shows it can improve spatial memory when stimulus intensity is controlled.

This study shows that memory changes during sleep are correlated among contextually linked objects, unlike during wake.

This study shows that sleep disruption can weaken reactivated memories, contrasting with the typical strengthening effect, suggesting memory reactivation can either strengthen or weaken memories based on sleep conditions.

This study shows that targeted memory reactivation during sleep improves face-name recall, with benefits linked to slow-wave sleep duration and reduced sleep disruption.

This study tests if memory reactivation during sleep improves multiplication learning but finds no effect on response time or accuracy.

This study investigates how neural entrainment during nonlinguistic statistical learning relates to the emergence of explicit knowledge using magnetoencephalography.

The paper shows that multiple memories can be reactivated during sleep without reducing their consolidation benefits, suggesting parallel memory processing during sleep.

The paper decodes memory reactivation content from sleep EEG, showing lateralized signals predict memory stabilization and correlate with spindles.

The paper analyzes how auditory cues during slow-wave sleep affect brain network connectivity and memory stabilization.

The paper tests if targeted memory reactivation during sleep can improve memory for object pairs, finding better recall for cued objects than non-cued ones.

This study shows that memory consolidation during sleep involves competition and selective weakening, with beta power indicating competition-based forgetting and sigma power indicating memory strengthening.

The paper shows that sleep spindles create a refractory period that segments sleep into periods allowing and blocking memory reactivation.
