Differential roles of sleep spindles and sleep slow oscillations in memory consolidation
Fig 8
Effect of memory strength on the consolidation during normal N2+N3 sleep.
a,b) The change of synaptic weights associated with Seq2 after N2 (a) and following N3 (b) sleep for the different training duration (memory strength) of Seq2. Importantly, after N2 sleep there is no difference in synaptic changes between Seq2 trained along with the stronger Seq1 and Seq2 trained alone. c) The change of Seq2 recall performance after N2+N3 sleep for the different training duration of Seq2. d) Probability across trials of synaptic weights increase for Seq2, when trained along with Seq1, for different duration of N2 sleep. Error bars indicate SEM.
