A daytime nap with REM sleep is linked to enhanced generalization of emotional stimuli

R Reichardt, A Kir�ly, � Szőllősi…�- Journal of Sleep�…, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
How memory representations are shaped during and after their encoding is a central
question in the study of human memory. Recognition responses to stimuli that are similar to�…

[HTML][HTML] The effect of one night of sleep on mnemonic discrimination of emotional information

N Cellini�- Brain sciences, 2023 - mdpi.com
Mnemonic discrimination is the process of separating similar but distinct experiences and
memories in the brain. This process seems to be differently modulated by retention periods�…

Effects of early morning nap sleep on associative memory for neutral and emotional stimuli

MR Sopp, T Michael, A Mecklinger�- Brain Research, 2018 - Elsevier
Emotional events are preferentially retained in episodic memory. This effect is commonly
attributed to enhanced consolidation and has been linked specifically to rapid eye�…

[HTML][HTML] Sleep spindles provide indirect support to the consolidation of emotional encoding contexts

SA Cairney, SJ Durrant, R Jackson, PA Lewis�- Neuropsychologia, 2014 - Elsevier
Emotional memories tend to be strengthened ahead of neutral memories during sleep-
dependent consolidation. In recent work, however, we found that this is not the case when�…

Sleep's impact on emotional recognition memory: A meta-analysis of whole-night, nap, and REM sleep effects

SK Sch�fer, BE Wirth, M Staginnus, N Becker…�- Sleep Medicine�…, 2020 - Elsevier
Numerous studies have shown that post-learning sleep enhances visual episodic
recognition memory. However, it remains unclear whether this consolidation benefit is�…

Replay of conditioned stimuli during late REM and stage N2 sleep influences affective tone rather than emotional memory strength

JS Rihm, B Rasch�- Neurobiology of learning and memory, 2015 - Elsevier
Emotional memories are reprocessed during sleep, and it is widely assumed that this
reprocessing occurs mainly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. In support for this�…

Dissociating the contributions of slow-wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep to emotional item and source memory

S Groch, K Zinke, I Wilhelm, J Born�- Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, 2015 - Elsevier
Sleep benefits the consolidation of emotional memories, and this influence is commonly
attributed to the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep. However, the contributions of�…

[HTML][HTML] Emotional arousal modulates oscillatory correlates of targeted memory reactivation during NREM, but not REM sleep

M Lehmann, T Schreiner, E Seifritz, B Rasch�- Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is considered to preferentially reprocess emotionally
arousing memories. We tested this hypothesis by cueing emotional vs. neutral memories�…

Differential effects of REM sleep on emotional processing: initial evidence for increased short-term emotional responses and reduced long-term intrusive memories

GG Werner, M Schabus, J Blechert…�- Behavioral sleep�…, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
Background: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep has been postulated to facilitate emotional
processing of negative stimuli. However, empirical evidence is mixed and the conditions�…

The role of REM sleep in the processing of emotional memories: evidence from behavior and event-related potentials

S Groch, I Wilhelm, S Diekelmann, J Born�- Neurobiology of learning and�…, 2013 - Elsevier
Emotional memories are vividly remembered for the long-term. Rapid eye movement (REM)
sleep has been repeatedly proposed to support the superior retention of emotional�…
