Before revision:  The results show that the strong adaptation found in anesthesia, but not in sleep, can produce a different type of slow oscillations, less sensitive to external inputs, that may prevent memory formation .
After revision:  The results show that the strong adaptation found in anesthesia, but not in sleep, can produce a different type of slow oscillations, less sensitive to external stimuli, which can explain how slow waves in sleep and anesthesia differentially affect memory consolidation, as well as provide a link between slow-wave dynamics and memory diseases .
