Long-Term Memory Recall The researchers found that the sleep group had an evidently higher performance in sequential memory than the wake group, even after 15 months.

In their first study, sequential memory (the order in which events of the tour happened, for example) improved after 24 hours, which included a night of sleep, and 'remained stable' over a month.

The advantage of sleep versus wake for sequential memory was evident after a single night of sleep, and this advantage held at all test points, including 15 months later.

Key points Researchers tested bonobos for their ability to remember the order of information. Unlike humans, the apes struggled to learn sequences after thousands of trials. Sequential memory may ...

A brainstem region helps punctuate memories. Stress may block its ability to mark new experiences. Although life unfolds in a continuous flow, our memories don’t capture it that way. We don’t recall ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine neuroscientists say they have found a new function for the SYNGAP1 gene, a DNA sequence that controls memory and learning in mammals, including mice and humans.
