Abstract

In this issue of Cell, we see first evidence of sleep-dependent circuit remodeling alongside behavioral memory consolidation in C. elegans. Examining memory of a never-rewarded odor during post-training sleep from synapse to behavior all in one organism opens the opportunity to use this well-mapped nervous system to study mechanisms of sleep-dependent memory consolidation.
