Reaction of glycolaldehyde with proteins: latent crosslinking potential of alpha-hydroxyaldehydes.

abstract：:It is believed that neural representations of recent experiences become reactivated during sleep, and that this process serves to stabilize associated memories in long-term memory. Here, we initiated this reactivation process for specific memories during slow-wave sleep. Participants studied 50 object-location associa...
