Poor sleep disrupts long-term memory by weakening crucial brain signals, as shown in rats deprived of sleep. Even a subsequent night of normal sleep couldn’t restore the brain signal fully. This study, detailed in Nature, highlights a critical window for memory processing. Researchers suggest targeted treatments to enhance memory may arise from these findings, revealing insights into how sleep affects memory consolidation through brain activity patterns like sharp-wave ripples in the hippocampus.
