| Résumé : | It is now widely recognized that sleep plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cognitive functions, especially considering learning and memory processes. In this chapter, we review key findings and evidences regarding the hypothesis that sleep exerts a promoting effect on plastic processes subtending memory consolidation. Nowadays, experimental findings show that recently learned information not only continues being processed but also can be modulated during sleep, that novel associations can be created during sleep and that emotion plays a modulatory role in sleep-dependent memory consolidation processes. |
