**Sleep Strengthens Memories, but Epilepsy Can Break the Connection**
By Kennedy Krieger Institute - Published on 05 August 2026
During sleep, three brain regions work together to strengthen memories, but epilepsy can disrupt that process. While the brain sleeps, three regions appear to synchronize their activity to strengthen newly formed memories. Researchers at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins Medicine found that disturbances in this coordination were associated with poorer memory performance in people [...]
