Abstract

Sleep is a remarkably complex and universal neuro-behavioural state. We spend one third of our lives asleep, but we still do not know exactly why that is. There is now overwhelming evidence that memories spontaneously reactivate during sleep, and this is thought to be essential for memory consolidation. However, the precise role of memory reactivation in long-term consolidation remains to be understood. Targeted memory reactivation (TMR) taps into the sleep-dependent consolidation process, providing a valuable tool to study memory reactivation. This thesis combines TMR during NREM sleep with examination of behaviour and multimodal neuroimaging to track the impact of cued replay on motor memories over time.
