Awake reactivation is not a uniform process

Abstract

Memories are consolidated during restful wakefulness, but the mechanisms underlying this process are poorly understood. We argue that wakeful reactivation is not monolithic: it encompasses non-conscious and conscious processes with varying levels of elaboration and diverging consequences. Refining reactivation as a concept may help avoid conflicting results on wake consolidation.
