ABSTRACT

Sleep and learning memory belong to the most important basic functions of the brain, and sleep plays an important role in the cognitive function of individuals, and a large number of studies have proved that there is a close relationship between the two, and good sleep can help people consolidate memory. With the deepening of research, according to memory type, memory can be divided into strong memory and weak memory, and many studies have tried to explore the effect of strong and weak memory in sleep-dependent memory consolidation, but a unified theoretical model has not yet been formed. Synthesizing the research results in this field in recent years, we focus on the process of memory consolidation in sleep for strong and weak memories, and briefly introduce the related studies involved. In the future, there is still a need to explore and validate the operation mechanism and application model, so as to provide more theoretical support for the field of memory efficacy and sleep.
