| summary | Not all memories are welcome. Over-consolidation of aversive or traumatic memories poses significant threats to our emotional well-being. Can we edit aversive memories during sleep, bypassing conscious awareness? Our recent work suggests that the sleep-mediated memory reactivation can be leveraged to weaken aversive memories. Via unobtrusively delivering sensory cues during non-rapid-eye-movement sleep (targeted memory reactivation), both affect tones and memory contents of aversive memories can be modified. Cueing benefits are associated with cue-elicited EEG power, and with the coupling between EEG slow oscillations and spindles. These results suggest that sleep-mediated memory reactivations play adaptive roles in memory editing and forgetting. |
