Abstract in brief

  • Sleep plays a crucial role not only in maintaining waking brain functions but also in supporting various cognitive and emotional processes through different sleep stages.
  • The review discusses how sleep influences memory—particularly declarative memory—by examining neural mechanisms of sleep-dependent plasticity and the evolution of memory stages, aiming to understand how sleep helps in integrating memories into broader schemas.
  • Emerging evidence suggests sleep also helps regulate emotional reactivity, leading to new hypotheses about its role in affective processing, with potential implications for understanding and treating mood disorders.]

Badania wykazują, że sen pozytywnie wpływa na proces konsolidacji pamięci, co oznacza, że informacje zdobyte w ciągu dnia są lepiej zapamiętywane po nocy spędzonej na spokojnym śnie. Źródło: Walker, M. P. (2009). The role of sleep in cognition and emotion. 1156(1), 168-197.
