The Mysterious of Sleep Process

Now im not reading a specific book or paper, i usually read different papers, because i don't need a lot of time to read one, a big paper have mm maybe 60 pages, when is a review, but, today in science you can find papers with only 2 or 3 pages. If i need to speak about a specific genre, i always read neurosciences papers in general, sleep; memory and learning process are my favorite’s topics. For example, i enjoying read about the influence of sleep in memory consolidation. In this point, we need to understand the basic process of the brain. We have different dynamics in our brains where the influence of electrical activity and chemical interactions are the base for all process in a person, in the case of the electrical activity we can identify different waves, like beta, alpha, theta and delta, but in sleep, we can find a common activity denomination, the slow wave sleep (SWS) and REM sleep (Rapid eyed movements). For memory consolidation the researches from the past 5 years have a consensus (mmm maybe) about the influence of the SWS, because in this specific moment of the sleep, the hippocampus is working on consolidation. In other part, the influence of odors and the facilitation of odor stimulation for memory consolidation are so interesting too. This area of research is very exciting for me, and i hope dedicate my life for new discoveries in the area, maybe in the future we can find a solution for memory problems and increase the understanding of the sleep and every function in relation with that wonderful and mysterious process.
