Maybe you would like to check out some papers from Crick (yeah Francis Crick)
and Mitchison on learning (by unlearning...) and dreaming (REM sleep).
Here are the refs :
The function of dream sleep
Crick F., Mitchison G.
Nature, jul. 1983;304:111-114
REM sleep and neural nets
Crick F., Mitchison G.
Journal of Mind and Behavior, 1986;7(2-3):99-120
Have fun.
