PhD Project - Forgetting unwanted memories during sleep at University of York, listed on FindAPhD.com

Sleep and mood are homeostatically regulated systems essential for mental and physical health. Understanding how sleep timing and mood dynamically influence each other, and which individual traits mod...

Frontal cortical tau pathology in aging humans is associated with reduced slow-wave travel during sleep. This reduced propagation is associated with poorer overnight memory retention, supporting a lin...

This research demonstrates that reactivating remote emotional memories before sleep influences subsequent dream emotions. Notably, we found no evidence tha

Why some experiences are retained while others fade remains a central question in memory research. This study shows that theta-band activity during learning marks memories for sleep-dependent consolid...

Real-life experiences are often incorporated into our dreams. Does dreaming about those experiences affect how we feel about them? Prior studies have suggested that dreaming may attenuate emotional re...

Translational Psychiatry - Sleep to remember, sleep to protect: increased sleep spindle and theta activity predict fewer intrusive memories after analogue trauma

Memory generalization allows individuals to extract and apply information from prior experiences to novel situations, supporting flexible learning and efficient decision-making. Theoretical models suggest that sleep should facilitate generalization, yet the literature examining its role in promoting …

Schaeffer et al. assess the use of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation with Temporal Interference (TES-TI) and high-density electroencephalography during overnight sleep in healthy humans. Findings…

Abstract. Retrieval training (i.e., cued recall) is theorised to induce rapid memory consolidation, similarly to sleep. Across consolidation, related neural representations become increasingly similar...

In macaques, old memories, relative to new ones, are supported by more stable and interconnected cell assemblies. New-biased and old-biased assemblies reactivate during overnight sleep and can sometim...

To make flexible decisions, the brain needs to make inferences between events that were not directly experienced together. In sharp-wave ripple (SWR) events, during periods of rest and sleep, spiking ...

Thompson, Rollik and colleagues show that, during sleep, the brain replays procedural memories in the striatum independently of the hippocampus. Replay content was shaped by prior reward and error out...

Hippocampal ripples are considered a key mechanism of sleep-dependent memory consolidation. In humans, however, their direct investigation has relied on invasive recordings from patients with epilepsy...

This study aimed to explore night-to-night variability of multiscale sleep patterns by analyzing subcutaneous electroencephalography (sqEEG) from 20 healthy participants over one year (205–388 nights ...

Abstract. Decades of research have established the hippocampus as central to episodic memory, but growing evidence suggests that it also contributes to str

Noninvasive methods are making it possible to study neural replay in humans. Although focused on alignment with rodent findings, human research often …

Why are some experiences remembered better than others? Leading theories propose that hippocampal replay prioritizes memories for consolidation according to their expected future value. We recorded hi...

Hippocampal ripples are transient, high-frequency oscillations linked to memory replay and consolidation. Ripples are well-characterized in rodents to occur during periods of behavioral inactivity (i....

Driessen et al. show that core benefits of sleep—reduced local sleep pressure, renormalized synaptic strength and memory consolidation—can be reproduced in awake, behaving mice by inducing sleep-like ...
