Sleep and spatial navigation
MARKOVÁ, Stefanie
Sleep is an important part of our lives. It is one of the basic human needs and its importance for basic cognitive functions is a current research topic. The theoretical part of this work focuses on sleep and its effect on individual sleep stages. Closer attention was also paid to memory and spatial navigation, which is now being studied in connection with the effectiveness of the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) phase of sleep. NREM sleep is characterized by its slow-wave activity and the occurrence of sleep spindles, which could help consolidate the memory traces of spatial navigation. This effect has often been studied in rodents, but there have not been many human studies. The practical part of this work is therefore devoted to the effect of sleep as a prerequisite for the consolidation of memory trace. Our participants were made up of a group of healthy 20 students (n = 20) in equal gender representation (10 men and 10 women). They participated in repeated measurements and were varied from exposure to sleep with wakefulness, during the phase of integration of memory traces of egocentric and allocentric spatial navigation. This experimental measurement was performed using the Blue Velvet Arena at the National Institute of Mental Health.
