Although long-term memory consolidation is supported by sleep, it is unclear how it differs
from that during wakefulness. Our review, focusing on recent advances in the field, identifies …

Long-term memory formation is a major function of sleep. Based on evidence from
neurophysiological and behavioral studies mainly in humans and rodents, we consider the …

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

An organism's survival can depend on its ability to recall and navigate to spatial locations
associated with rewards, such as food or a home. Accumulating research has revealed that …

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 …

Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

Adaptation to the ever-changing world is critical for survival, and our brains are particularly
tuned to remember events that differ from previous experiences. Novel experiences induce …

To make decisions, animals must evaluate candidate choices by accessing memories of
relevant experiences. Yet little is known about which experiences are considered or ignored …

Microelectrode arrays and microprobes have been widely utilized to measure neuronal
activity, both in vitro and in vivo. The key advantage is the capability to record and stimulate …

The hippocampus is critical for spatial learning and memory. Hippocampal neurons in
awake animals exhibit place field activity that encodes current location, as well as sharp …
