Abstract
Thirty-two volunteers learned a sentence after awakening from early in the first REM period of sleep and recalled it after awakening from the third REM period, under experimental conditions that controlled for state dependency. The tetracycline antibiotic doxycycline (200 mg), taken at bedtime, impaired recall possibly through a putative inhibitory action on brain protein synthesis.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
