ProjectFOR 5434 TP1 – Sleep-dependent transformation of episodic memory during early life

Basic data

Acronym:
FOR 5434 TP1
Title:
Sleep-dependent transformation of episodic memory during early life
Duration:
01/01/2023 to 31/12/2026
Abstract / short description:
Sleep during early life differs in quantity and quality from adult sleep, while memory processing networks are immature. The hypothesis framing this project is that sleep during early development particularly serves the rapid transformation of episodic memory supported by hippocampal networks, into persisting schema memory supported by the medial prefrontal cortex. We examine this hypothesis in parallel in rodents and humans based on a spatial (rule) learning task.
