Sleep is key in both memory formation and the consolidation of new information.
Cutting-edge technologies now allow scientists to see where in the brain learning takes place, and how sleep deprivation interferes with the brain’s neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to respond and adapt to the stimuli it receives from the environment.
What happens “under the hood” when we are asleep has also been the focus of numerous studies.
