Sleep is known to support memory consolidation. Here we review evidence for an active
system consolidation occurring during sleep. At the beginning of this process is sleep's …

It is well established that the occurrence of theta rhythm in the hippocampus is important in a
variety of mnemonic tasks. However, in this review it will be argued that theta-rhythmic …

Sharp wave ripples (SPW‐Rs) represent the most synchronous population pattern in the
mammalian brain. Their excitatory output affects a wide area of the cortex and several …

Neural oscillations in the alpha band (8–12 Hz) are increasingly viewed as an active
inhibitory mechanism that gates and controls sensory information processing as a function of …

Abstract Gamma‐band activity (30–90 Hz) and the synchronization of neural activity in the
gamma‐frequency range have been observed in different cortical and subcortical structures …

Memory formation is hypothesized to involve the generation of event-specific neural activity
patterns during learning and the subsequent spontaneous reactivation of these patterns …

Different brain rhythms, with both low-frequency and fast-frequency, are grouped within
complex wave-sequences. Instead of dissecting various frequency bands of the major …

Both neocortical and hippocampal networks organize the firing patterns of their neurons by
prominent oscillations during sleep, but the functional role of these rhythms is not well …

Long-range synchronization of neural oscillations correlates with distinct behaviors, yet its
causal role remains unproven. In mice, tests of avoidance behavior evoke increases in theta …

Both the thalamocortical and limbic systems generate a variety of brain state-dependent
rhythms but the relationship between the oscillatory families is not well understood. Transfer …
