Check out our new paper! We evaluate what we know (and don't know) about the link between memory consolidation during sleep and next-day learning 👇

😴 Sleep stabilises old memories and supports new learning. Are these benefits of sleep causally linked, driven by a common underlying mechanism, or largely independent? Our new paper digs into this important question! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
