Popis: Loss of sleep leads to deleterious effects on cognitive function, with memory being significantly impaired when rodents are sleep deprived during the first 5–6 h following learning. Recent findings suggest that lack of sleep during this specific time period after learning alters molecular signaling pathways critical for the formation of memories. Several molecular mechanisms underlying impaired cognition caused by sleep deprivation have been described. In this review, we will discuss the proposed molecular mechanisms underlying memory consolidation affected by sleep deprivation, which includes timing of sleep deprivation and the molecular signaling pathways involved.
