| Research Abstract |
It has been well confirmed that sleep plays a crucial role in the development of skill learning. We clarified that working memory capacity, a higher cognitive function, also benefits from post-training sleep. The enhancement of working memory capacity may associate increments of cortical activity of the frontal region during sleep. While the ability to overcome sleepiness, which essentially reflects activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, may contribute to the individual difference in working memory capacity. A NMDA agonist also facilitates the enhancement of working memory capacity after training.
