Abstract
Objective Numerous studies point to the involvement of sleep spindles and slow waves in memory processes, particularly in hippocampus-dependent declarative memory. We have shown previously that the overnight change in recall performance in a declarative word pair association task correlates significantly with increased spindle activity during the night after learning compared to a control night. The current study re-evaluates this relationship in detail and explores whether the observed positive correlation of two spindle parameters measured during stage 2 (S2) sleep with overnight stabilization depend on the time of night (early vs. late) and spindle type (fast vs. slow).
