Motor memory retention is impaired in Parkinsons disease (PD), affecting long-term rehabilitation outcomes. It appears that NREM sleep could be beneficial for consolidation processes in PD, and could be leveraged with non-invasive sleep interventions. This study examined the effect of auditory targeted memory reactivation (TMR) during NREM sleep on the retention of a motor sequence learning finger tapping task in 20 PD and 20 healthy older adults (HOA). TMR was applied during a 2-hour nap and its effect on motor retention was post-nap, after 24-hours and with a dual-task. The impact of TMR on sleep electrophysiology was also evaluated. Results showed no effect of TMR on motor retention or dual-tasking, with no difference between the groups. However, the TMR intervention did increase slow-wave density and decreased spindle density in both groups, and slow-wave amplitude during the presentation of the auditory cues was positively associated with performance in HOA. In conclusion, TMR applied during a 2 hour nap did not enhance motor retention, but the changes in sleep physiological features could be linked to a possible underlying effect on memory processing that warrants further investigation.
