Fear memory formation and recall are highly regulated processes, with the central amygdala (CeA) contributing to fear memory-related behaviors. We recently reported that a remote fear memory engram is resident in the anterior basolateral amygdala (aBL…
Emotional memories are processed during sleep; however, the specific mechanisms are unclear. Understanding such mechanisms may provide critical insight into preventing and treating mood disorders. Consolidation of neutral memories is associated with t…
While the benefits of sleep for associative memory are well established, it is unclear whether single-item memories profit from overnight consolidation to the same extent. We addressed this question in a preregistered, online study and also investigat…
Episodic memories are thought to be stabilized through the coordination of cortico–hippocampal activity during sleep. However, the timing and mechanism of this coordination remain unknown. To investigate this, we studied the relationship between…

Sleep promotes the stabilization of memories in adulthood, with a growing literature on the benefits of sleep for memory in infants and children. In two studies, we examined the role of sleep in the retention and generalization of nonadjacent dependen…

Transitive inference is a measure of relational learning that has been shown to improve across sleep. Here, we examine this phenomenon further by studying the impact of encoding strength and joint rank. In experiment 1, participants learned adjacent p…

Sleep supports memory consolidation, and slow-wave sleep (SWS) in particular is assumed to benefit the consolidation of verbal learning material. Re-exposure to previously learned words during SWS with a technique known as targeted memory reactivation…
