Abstract
Two studies help reveal the dynamics of memory. New memories that weaken during the day can be strengthened by a period of sleep. And when memories are reactivated, they must be re-stored in order to persist.
Memory research is undergoing a transformation. No longer is memory thought to be a hard-wiring of information in the brain.
