Detailed explanation-1: -REM Sleep and Memory Consolidation. The hypothesis has been around for some time that REM sleep contributes to memory consolidation, stimulated in particular by the wakelike EEG activity during this sleep stage together with frequent reports of vivid dreams after awakening from REM sleep.

Detailed explanation-2: -Conscious memory for a new experience is initially dependent on information stored in both the hippocampus and neocortex. Systems consolidation is the process by which the hippocampus guides the reorganization of the information stored in the neocortex such that it eventually becomes independent of the hippocampus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Researchers identify neurons responsible for memory consolidation during REM sleep. Summary: Researchers have found that activity in adult-born neurons (ABNs) in the hippocampus, which is a brain region associated with memory, are responsible for memory consolidation during REM sleep.
