Researchers uncovered how the brain chooses which daily experiences to convert into long-term memories during sleep, pinpointing "sharp wave-ripples" in the hippocampus as the crucial mechanism. This phenomenon suggests that events followed by sharp wave-ripples are more likely to be consolidated into permanent memories.
