Abstract
The function of REM, or any other stage of sleep, call currently only, be c
onjectured. A rational evaluation of the role of RENT in memory processing
requires systematic testing of hypotheses that are optimally derived from a
complete synthesis of existing knowledge. Our view is that the large numbe
r of studies supporting a relationship between RENT-related brain activity
and memory is not easily, explained away.
