The paper shows that during non-REM sleep, plasticity increases in the DLPFC, while during REM sleep, stability increases in the mPFC, both related to E/I balance changes and learning outcomes.

The paper shows that reduced glutamate levels, an excitatory neurotransmitter, are associated with better sleep onset in humans, while GABA levels remain stable.

The paper shows the first-night effect reduces sleep's benefit on visual plasticity and alters neurochemical processes during sleep.

This study uses DecNef to show that unconscious exposure-based visual perceptual learning occurs in V1/V2 without conscious perception of motion.
