Experience-dependent reactivation of the calcium signal transduction pathway in the rat hippocampus during sleep

Sleep-dependent plastic changes play a key role in the consolidation of newly acquired memories. Two distinct and successive phases of sleep, slow wave sleep (SWS), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep can be recognized in mammals. Both phases have been implicated in the sensorimotor processing of day...

Brain expression of the plasticity-associated immediate-early gene (IEG) zif-268 is upregulated during REM sleep in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of animals exposed to rich sensorimotor experience in the preceding waking period (Learn Mem. 6; 500, 1999).
