Memory consolidation is the process by which our brains stabilize and strengthen new memories after they are formed. This occurs primarily during sleep, when the brain replays and organizes information from the day, helping to transfer memories from short-term storage to long-term storage. During this process, different types of memories, such as declarative memory (facts and events) and procedural memory (skills and tasks), are integrated and stored in various brain regions. Effective memory consolidation is essential for learning and retaining information, allowing us to recall experiences and knowledge when needed.
