Abstract

It is now clear that states of sleep are involved with the off-line memory reprocessing or consolidation of a variety of tasks. The large majority of these sleep sensitive tasks has been of the procedural type, tasks that are usually learned implicitly. It is still unclear which states of sleep are most important. For motor skills tasks, Stage 2 sleep has sometimes been implicated, while at other times the important sleep state appears to be rapid eye movement (REM). This paper is an attempt to more clearly identify the characteristics that differentiate REM-dependent from Stage 2-dependent motor tasks and to examine the nature of the brain state differences between the two stages at the neurophysiological and neurochemical levels. We have developed a model to explain how motor skills tasks involving REM and Stage 2 sleep might be dependent on two separate, but overlapping, neural systems.

  • Spindles also appear to be involved in the consolidation of skills, especially of simple motor and visuomotor skills.

    “Spindles also appear to be involved in the consolidation of skills, especially of simple motor (e.g., pursuit rotor task, simple sequential finger tapping) and visuomotor skills (1114).”

  • The magnitude of learning-induced increases in REM sleep parameters has been linked to capabilities of learning in animals and humans.

    “In addition to baseline amounts of REM sleep, the magnitude of learning-induced increases in REM sleep parameters have been linked to capabilities of learning in animals (1110) and humans (1114).”

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.
