Abstract

The question of what role, if any, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep plays in memory consolidation has yet to be answered. Those studies which find evidence for a functional role of REM in consolidation do so by comparing REM deprived (REMD) animals, which are subjected to cold, wetness, isolation, and fatigue, with caged controls, which are subjected to none of these.
