Memories are formed when we sleep
According to a new study realized by scientists, sleep is the moment that we consolidate our memories
Firstly, they put an implant that allows, using light pulses, enable or disable parts of laboratory mice brains. After that, they showed an object for the rats and wait until they pick up on sleep. When the deepest phase of sleep comes (REM) the scientists turned off the part of the brain wich make our memories.
And on the the next day, they showed the object again. and the results were unbelieveable... they did not built any memory of the object!!!!
It shows that REM is responsible for the consolidation of the memories. The researchers still don't know how or why it happens, but they are sure that dreams are side effects performed by the brain during the night.
good night guys!!!! Sleep well <3
