Plasticity during Sleep Is Linked to Specific Regulation of Cortical Circuit Activity

Plasticity during Sleep Is Linked to Specific Regulation of Cortical Circuit Activity

Sleep is thought to be involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity in two ways: by enhancing local plastic processes underlying the consolidation of specific memories and by supporting global synaptic homeostasis. Here, we briefly summarize recent structural and functional studies examining sl...
