摘要: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is considered to preferentially reprocess emotionally arousing memories. We tested this hypothesis by cueing emotional vs. neutral memories during REM and NREM wakefulness presenting associated verbal memory cues after learning. Here we show that significantly improved for pictures, while no benefit was observed sleep. On the oscillatory level, successful resulted in significant increases theta spindle oscillations with stronger responses than In contrast sleep, solely of (but not emotional) activity. Our results do support a preferential role memories, but rather suggest arousal modulates replay consolidation processes their correlates
