New Akerman group paper reveals links between sleep, synaptic inhibition, and the plastic changes that underlie learning in the brain

Pharmacology researchers have discovered a key mechanism linking sleep and wake to synaptic plasticity in the brain, shedding light on how learning and memory may be affected by rest. Their study, published by Alfonsa et al. in the journal Current Biology, reveals that intracellular chloride levels shift during sleep and wakefulness, influencing synaptic plasticity processes in the brain’s cortex.
