Dynamics of a Memory Trace: Effects of Sleep on Consolidation
Open accessAbstract
Background There is evidence that sleep is important for memory consolidation, but the underlying neuronal changes are not well understood. We studied the effect of sleep modulation on memory and on neuronal activity in a memory system of the domestic chick brain after the learning process of imprinting. Neurons in this system become, through imprinting, selectively responsive to a training (imprinting) stimulus and so possess the properties of a memory trace.Results The proportion of neurons responsive to the training stimulus reaches a maximum the day after training. We demonstrate that sleep is necessary for this maximum to be achieved, that sleep stabilizes the initially unstable, selective responses of neurons to the imprinting stimulus, and that for sleep to be effective, it must occur during a particular period of time after training. During this period, there is a time-dependent increase in EEG activity in the 5-6 Hz band, that is, in the lower range of the theta bandwidth. The effects of sleep disturbance on consolidation cannot be attributed to fatigue or to stress.Conclusions We establish that long-term trace consolidation requires sleep within a restricted period shortly after learning. Undisturbed sleep is necessary for the stabilization of long-term memory, measured at the behavioral and neuronal levels, and of long-term but not short-term neuronal responsiveness to the training stimulus.

A more recent study compellingly demonstrated a critical involvement of sleep in consolidation of the imprinting stimulus.
“Results from a more recent study compellingly demonstrated a critical involvement of sleep in the consolidation of the imprinting stimulus (600).”

Chicks with disturbed sleep in the first 6-h interval after training and undisturbed sleep in the second interval showed no significant memory for the imprinting stimulus and a strong decrease in responsive IMM neurons.
“In contrast, chicks that experienced disturbed sleep in the first 6-h interval after training and undisturbed sleep in the second 6-h interval, at final testing did not exhibit any significant memory for the imprinting stimulus and showed a strong decrease in the number of IMM neurons responsive to the imprinting stimulus.”
From About Sleep's Role in Memory (2013) · cites this paper as [600]
Tracking of individual IMM neurons suggested that sleep shortly after imprinting stabilizes the memory representation by supporting recovery of responsiveness of cells that had ceased to respond, with this effect requiring some hours.
“Interestingly, tracking of individual IMM neurons revealed a pattern suggesting that sleep shortly after imprinting training stabilizes the memory representation by supporting the recovery of responsiveness of cells that for any reasons had ceased to respond to the imprinting stimulus in the course of training or shortly afterwards, with this effect requiring some hours to occur (600, 1150).”

In that study, final testing after the second sleep period revealed stable memory for the imprinting stimulus and an overall doubled number of IMM neurons responding to the imprinting stimulus compared with before sleep.
“Final testing after the second sleep period revealed a stable memory for the imprinting stimulus together with an overall doubled number of IMM neurons responding to the imprinting stimulus (compared to imprinting training before sleep).”

Chicks with undisturbed sleep after imprinting displayed an increase in EEG SWA covering the 0-6 Hz frequency band during this period.
“In addition, chicks with undisturbed sleep after imprinting displayed an increase in EEG SWA covering the 0 -6 Hz frequency band during this period.”

Given that the IMM receives significant hippocampal input, such inputs during sleep may drive stabilization of IMM representations, although hippocampal neurons do not appear to selectively respond to the imprinting stimulus after training.
“Given that the IMM corresponds to parts of the mammalian neocortex receiving significant input from the hippocampus (819, 979), such inputs during sleep may drive the stabilization of IMM representations, although hippocampal neurons do not appear to selectively respond to the imprinting stimulus after training (600, 858).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
