Neuroscientists today can measure activity from more neurons than ever before, and are
facing the challenge of connecting these brain-wide neural recordings to computation and …

The spontaneous replay of patterns of activity related to past experiences and memories is a
striking feature of brain activity, as is the coherent activation of sets of brain areas …

Various cognitive functions have long been known to require the hippocampus. Recently,
progress has been made in identifying the hippocampal neural activity patterns that …

Executing memory-guided behavior requires storage of information about experience and
later recall of that information to inform choices. Awake hippocampal replay, when …

Replay is the reactivation of one or more neural patterns that are similar to the activation
patterns experienced during past waking experiences. Replay was first observed in …

The proposed mechanisms of sleep-dependent memory consolidation involve the overnight
regulation of neural activity at both synaptic and whole-network levels. Now, there is a lack …

Hippocampal sharp wave ripples (SPW-Rs) have been hypothesized as a mechanism for
memory consolidation and action planning. The duration of ripples shows a skewed …

Complex systems, composed at the most basic level of units and their interactions, describe
phenomena in a wide variety of domains, from neuroscience to computer science and …

Neuroscientists often describe neural activity as a representation of something, or claim to
have found evidence for a neural representation, but there is considerable ambiguity about …

Replay in the brain has been viewed as rehearsal or, more recently, as sampling from a
transition model. Here, we propose a new hypothesis: that replay is able to implement a form …
