A collaborative network of 3 research groups at OxCIN, University of Oxford (@oxcin.bsky.social) with a shared interest in brain plasticity. Plasticity (PI: @heidijoberg.bsky.social), PiNG (PI: @cjstagg.bsky.social), and TiNSL (PI: Jacinta O'Shea) labs.
Check out our new paper! We evaluate what we know (and don't know) about the link between memory consolidation during sleep and next-day learning 👇
😴 Sleep stabilises old memories and supports new learning. Are these benefits of sleep causally linked, driven by a common underlying mechanism, or largely independent? Our new paper digs into this important question! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
