Covert reorganization of implicit task representations by slow wave sleepJuliana Yordanova
Department of Neurology, University of Lubeck, Lubeck, Germany
PLoS ONE 4:e5675. 2009..The present study elucidated the role of task-dependent cortical activation guided by attentional control at pre-sleep encoding for the consolidation of hippocampus-dependent memories during sleep...
Sleep enhances explicit recollection in recognition memorySpyridon Drosopoulos
University of Lubeck, Department of Neuroendocrinology, D 23538 Lubeck, Germany
Learn Mem 12:44-51. 2005..05). The data indicate that in a task that allows separating the contribution of explicit and implicit memory, sleep particularly supports explicit memory formation. The mechanism of this effect appears to be linked to SWS...
Sleep loss produces false memoriesSusanne Diekelmann
Department of Neuroendocrinology, University of Lubeck, Lubeck, Germany
PLoS ONE 3:e3512. 2008..This effect was abolished by caffeine administration prior to retrieval, indicating that adenosinergic mechanisms can contribute to the generation of false memories associated with sleep loss...

Opposite effects of cortisol on consolidation of temporal sequence memory during waking and sleepInes Wilhelm
