Neural activity during rest plays an essential role in memory consolidation. Evidence has shown that explicit memory is reactivated during slow-wave sleep (SWS) and quiet wakefulness. However, there is relatively little evidence for the reactivation of implicit
memory. Therefore, we have investigated the neural activity of rats’ primary motor cortex while they learn an implicit memory task. Five rats were implemented with tetrode arrays, and single-unit activity was recorded when animals performed a single pellet-reaching
task. Daily recordings containing pre-task sleep, training on the reaching task, and post-task sleep continued until animals reached asymptotic performance levels. We applied PCA and found that coordinated REM and SWS activation exists and facilitates rats’
skill learning. Detection of cell ensembles using an unsupervised method also confirmed that task-associated cell ensembles were replayed during SWS and REM sleep and modulated by hippocampal sharp-wave ripples. To investigate the relationship between cell
ensembles and synaptic plasticity, we have also performed numerical simulations with spiking neural networks and two STDP rules: add-STDP and log-STDP. We found that log-STDP produced considerably more cell ensembles than add-STDP. These studies provide evidence
for the reactivation of implicit memory, cortico-hippocampal interaction during SWS, and a possible benefit of log-STDP for cell ensemble generation.</div>
