Learning new vocabulary during deep sleep

Date:
January 31, 2019
Source:
University of Bern
Summary:
Researchers showed that we can acquire the vocabulary of a new language during distinct phases of slow-wave sleep and that the sleep-learned vocabulary could be retrieved unconsciously following waking. Memory formation appeared to be mediated by the same brain structures that also mediate wake vocabulary learning.

Awesome find, I'm assuming this is due to a low serotonergic, mind wandering state - essentially the mind structure/metabolism of a young organism?
