Hippocampal memory consolidation during sleep: a comparison of mammals and birds

Abstract: The transition from wakefulness to sleep is marked by pronounced changes in brain activity. The brain rhythms that characterize the two main types of mammalian sleep, slow-wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, are thought to be involved in the functions of sleep. In particular, recent theories suggest that the synchronous slow-oscillation of neocortical neuronal membrane potentials, the defining feature of SWS, is involved in processing information acquired during wakefulness. According to the S… Show more

“…REM sleep is characterized by EEG activity remarkably similar to that occurring during wakefulness [79]. However, in contrast with wakefulness, the bird has its eyes closed and muscle tone reaches its lowest level, often causing the head to drop [84].…”

“…As in mammals, avian sleep consists of two distinct types of sleep, slow wave sleep (SWS, or non-REM sleep) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep [79]. The two states are distinguished from one another and wakefulness in part by changes in brain activity measured with the EEG.…”

“…To maintain high, efficient cognitive performances, an organism has to rest and sleep [10]. The duration and the quality of the rest constrain the quality of cognitive operations [10,11], including predator avoidance [12]. But the introduction process seems poorly compatible with a good rest and sleep: individuals arrive in a new environment, devoid of informed conspecifics that otherwise could help to find a safe resting place.…”
