Marcus O. Harrington
@harrington-mo.bsky.social
Lecturer in Psychology at the University of East Anglia. Interested in why sleep disturbances increase vulnerability to mental health problems and how memories are consolidated during sleep.
😴 Sleep stabilises old memories and supports new learning. Are these benefits of sleep causally linked, driven by a common underlying mechanism, or largely independent? Our new paper digs into this important question!
