Abstract

Literature suggests that sleep plays a role in memory consolidation, including emotional memories, but it is still argued the underlying mechanism of this process. In this regard, spindles are sleep wave components whose role has been associated with memory consolidation, although researchers still report conflicting results. This research aims to understand if sleep spindle activity has a role in memory consolidation and whether it acts differently on neutral and emotional stimuli.

The role of spindles activity in the consolidation of neutral and emotional stimuli
Literature suggests that sleep plays a role in memory consolidation, including emotional memories, but it is still argued the underlying mechanism of this process. In this regard, spindles are sleep wave components whose role has been associated with memory consolidation, although researchers still report conflicting results. This research aims to understand if sleep spindle activity has a role in memory consolidation and whether it acts differently on neutral and emotional stimuli.
