New research from Cornell University shows that during deep sleep, the brain's hippocampus resets, allowing it to consolidate memories and prepare for new learning. This process involves silencing certain neurons, which helps the brain avoid overload and maintain continuous learning. The findings could lead to new treatments for memory-related conditions like Alzheimer's and PTSD by enhancing memory consolidation or erasing traumatic memories.
