Learning beyond sensations: how dreams organize neuronal representations
Semantic representations in higher sensory cortices form the basis for robust, yet flexible
behavior. These representations are acquired over the course of development in an …

A generative model of memory construction and consolidation
Episodic memories are (re) constructed, share neural substrates with imagination, combine
unique features with schema-based predictions and show schema-based distortions that …

Memory reactivations during sleep: a neural basis of dream experiences?
Newly encoded memory traces are spontaneously reactivated during sleep. Since their
discovery in the 1990s, these memory reactivations have been discussed as a potential …

Learning cortical representations through perturbed and adversarial dreaming
Humans and other animals learn to extract general concepts from sensory experience
without extensive teaching. This ability is thought to be facilitated by offline states like sleep …

Nested compressed co-representations of multiple sequential experiences during sleep
Animals encounter and remember multiple experiences daily. During sleep, hippocampal
neuronal ensembles replay past experiences and preplay future ones. Although most …

[HTML][HTML] Characterising the hippocampal response to perception, construction and complexity
The precise role played by the hippocampus in supporting cognitive functions such as
episodic memory and future thinking is debated, but there is general agreement that it …
