Sleep-Dependent Reactivation of Ensembles in Motor Cortex Promotes Skill Consolidation.
Despite many prior studies demonstrating offline behavioral gains in motor skills after sleep, the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. To investigate the neurophysiological basis for offline gains, we performed single-unit recordings in motor cortex as rats learned a skilled upper...
