Sleep supports systems memory consolidation through the precise temporal coordination of specific oscillatory events during slow-wave sleep, i.e. the neocortical slow oscillations (SOs), thalamic spindles, and hippocampal ripples. Beneficial effects of sleep on memory are also observed in infants, although the contributing regions, especially hippocampus and frontal cortex, are immature. Here, we examined in rats the development of these oscillatory events and their coupling during early life.
