We think it means that there must be something critical for overnight memory consolidation about these phasic REM periods. What may that be? Stay tuned. 
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have ANY questions or comments on the manuscript (5/5)

Last, we extended the findings to an additional independent cohort (N=558), tying REM sleep changes to genetic AD risk (APOE). (4/5)

Then, we followed the same analysis on a subset from the Longitudinal Aging Sleep Study at Berkeley (N=61), which underwent deep imaging (MR, PET), and a classic overnight paired association memory task. (3/5)

Together with Tenzin Desel, ‪Matt Walker‬, Bill Jagust, and the brilliant help of Chelsea Brown, Trevor Chadwich, and Cindy Chen. We started from young (N=55), replicating Bernardi, Tononi & Silcari's results from 2019. (2/5)
