Regional Rates of Cerebral Protein Synthesis: Effects of Sleep and Memory Consolidation
Background: The brain needs sleep to function normally, but the purpose of sleep is not understood. Brain activity decreases during sleep, so it may be that sleep is important to maintain, repair, or reorganize brain cells.
