The most useful information that this article provided is that there’s a reason most people spend about one-third of their lives asleep. Sleep is not a passive state of rest, but an active state of rebuilding, repair, reorganization and regeneration. A chance in which the Athlete playing a college sport can also be caused …show more content…
As proposed memory representations are redistributed between different neuronal systems, from temporary, fast-learning stores (e.g., hippocampus), to slow-learning long-term storage across distributed cortical networks. A new memory is initially encoded in both stores. During consolidation, repeated reactivation of the new memory in the faster learning store drives the simultaneous reactivation in the cortex, such that the memory representation in the cortex is strengthened, and extraction of the invariant properties of the new memory is facilitated. According to the active systems consolidation hypothesis, the reactivation and redistribution of memories occur during sleep in order to prevent interference. Much of the evidence for this hypothesis comes from studies examining hippocampus-dependent explicit memory, although there is some evidence of systems consolidation for implicit procedural memory consolidation.. According to, newly encoded memories are repeatedly reactivated during SWS, with slow oscillations driving sharp-wave ripples and thalamo-cortical spindles, which, in turn, facilitate the gradual distribution of new memories to long term storage in the
