Sleep’s Secret Sequence May Sculpt Our Memories Like a Garden

by Neuroscience News

A new theory suggests that the order of sleep phases—non-REM followed by REM—is essential for strengthening and organizing memories. In mice studies and computational models, researchers found that non-REM sleep reinforces new memories, while REM sleep prunes overlapping or irrelevant ones, keeping them distinct.
