Although sleep spindles during non\u2010rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep have been associated with consolidation, it remains unclear whether all spindle types contribute equally. Spindles vary in frequency and topography, slow spindles (\u2264\u200912.5\u2009Hz) predominating frontally, fast spindles (&gt;\u200912.5\u2009Hz) parietally and recent work suggests that procedural memory consolidation relates to the temporal organization of spindles in \u2018trains\u2019 (events occurring &lt;\u20096\u2009s apart). We investigated whether a similar mechanism operates for declarative memory during daytime naps. Participants (Nap,\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200923; No\u2010Nap,\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200915) completed an object\u2010location task involving 36 item\u2010location associations, tested immediately after learning and again following a 90\u2010min nap opportunity or an equivalent wake period. The Nap group exhibited significantly better delayed memory, measured by combined recall\u2010associative recognition scores and a greater proportion of nappers maintained or improved performance. Within the Nap group, memory was positively associated with local spindle density at frontal and parietal sites and with the proportion of slow frontal spindles clustered in trains during NREM2. Contrary to our expectations, however, these associations did not reach significance under two\u2010tailed testing, possibly reflecting the limited sample size and thus lack of statistical power for an experimental design based on naps. Together, our results demonstrate a robust behavioural benefit of daytime naps for declarative memory retention and, more tentatively, point to slow frontal spindle activity as a candidate correlate for future work.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsr.70478","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,16]],"date-time":"2026-10-16T01:57:17Z","timestamp":1792115837000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Slow Frontal Spindle Activity and Declarative Memory Retention During Daytime Naps"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6909-2028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vaishali","family":"Mutreja","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Integrated Program in Neuroscience McGill University  Montreal Canada"},{"name":"McConnell Brain Imaging Centre McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8858-0448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prakriti","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Integrated Program in Neuroscience McGill University  Montreal Canada"},{"name":"McConnell Brain Imaging Centre McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ovidiu","family":"Lungu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McConnell Brain Imaging Centre McGill University  Montreal Canada"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Addictology University of Montreal  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Latifa","family":"Lazzouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5696-2626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arnaud","family":"Boutin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Paris\u2010Saclay Inria, CIAMS  Gif\u2010sur\u2010Yvette France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ella","family":"Gabitov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McConnell Brain Imaging Centre McGill University  Montreal Canada"},{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madeleine","family":"Sharp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5311-2370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julie","family":"Carrier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Montreal  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julien","family":"Doyon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McConnell Brain Imaging Centre McGill University  Montreal Canada"},{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"553","DOI":"10.2147\/NDT.A930","article-title":"Sleep Deprivation: Impact on Cognitive Performance","volume":"3","author":"Alhola P.","year":"2007","journal-title":"Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/jneurosci.2604\u201011.2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cub.2018.04.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tins.2018.09.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s42003\u2010024\u201007197\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00426\u2010011\u20100335\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rstb.2019.0232"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rspb.2023.1408"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cub.2018.01.087"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/zsac282"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","unstructured":"Chen S.
