New preprint! Huge data collection feat from Morgan Barnes and analytic prowess from Thea Ng!

Perturbations of aperiodic activity following learning are reversed in nREM resetting the brain by morning. This reset predicts consolidation!

#sleeppeeps check out this new meta-analysis which provides great guidance on spindle-slow oscillation measurement which has been highly variable across papers! This work was done in my lab @umass by Thea Ng, an undergraduate @MountHolyoke ! https://t.co/ElAda3wq1j
