but there's a lot of science to back this up, based on the way our spatial memory works. There's a structure in the brain called the hippocampus,

is an intensely active period of restructuring that's crucial for how our memory works. At first glance,

a phenomenon known as the forgetting curve. But this loss can be prevented through memory consolidation, the process by which information is moved

the process by which information is moved from our fleeting short-term memory to our more durable long-term memory. This consolidation occurs with the help of a major part of the brain,

The benefits of a good night's sleep - Shai Marcu

known as the hippocampus. Its role in long-term memory formation was demonstrated in the 1950s by Brenda Milner

The benefits of a good night's sleep - Shai Marcu

was that the hippocampus was specifically involved in the consolidation of long-term declarative memory, such as the facts and concepts you need to remember for that test,

The benefits of a good night's sleep - Shai Marcu

such as the facts and concepts you need to remember for that test, rather than procedural memory, such as the finger movements you need to master for that recital.

The benefits of a good night's sleep - Shai Marcu

Sensory data is initially transcribed and temporarily recorded in the neurons as short-term memory. From there, it travels to the hippocampus,

The benefits of a good night's sleep - Shai Marcu

and strengthening the neural network where the information will be returned as long-term memory. So why do we remember some things and not others?

The benefits of a good night's sleep - Shai Marcu

Well, there are a few ways to influence the extent and effectiveness of memory retention. For example, memories that are formed in times of heightened feeling,

will be better recorded due to the hippocampus' link with emotion. But one of the major factors contributing to memory consolidation is, you guessed it,

moving between the brainstem, hippocampus, thalamus, and cortex, which serve as relay stations of memory formation. And the different stages of sleep have been shown to help consolidate

During the non-REM slow-wave sleep, declarative memory is encoded into a temporary store in the anterior part of the hippocampus.

REM sleep, on the other hand, with its similarity to waking brain activity, is associated with the consolidation of procedural memory. So based on the studies,
