#sleep What if we could find a way to strengthen short term memory while people sleep? Could that potentially help delay early stages of Alzheimer’s from progressing? Could it help students with learning? It’s newer research and basically ties deep brain stimulation during sleep with greater memory performance. ” Intracranial stimulation during sleep using prefrontal electric pulses, precisely timed with slow-wave activities in the medial temporal lobe, enhanced the coupling of neuronal oscillations across regions of the human brain and improved memory performance.”
