Understanding of the evolved biological function of sleep has advanced considerably in the
past decade. However, no equivalent understanding of dreams has emerged. Contemporary …

The consolidation of declarative memories is believed to occur mostly during sleep and
involves a dialogue between two brain regions, the hippocampus and the medial prefrontal …

Episodic memory involves learning and recalling associations between items and their
spatiotemporal context. Those memories can be further used to generate internal models of …

The hippocampus is implicated in memory formation, and neurons in the hippocampus take
part in replay sequences that have been proposed to reflect memory of explored space. By …

Hippocampal subfield CA3 is thought to stably store memories in assemblies of recurrently
connected cells functioning as a collective. However, the collective hippocampal coding …

The past decade of progress in neurobiology has uncovered important organizational
principles for network preconfiguration and neuronal selection that suggest a generative …

We advance a novel computational theory of the hippocampal formation as a hierarchical
generative model that organizes sequential experiences, such as rodent trajectories during …

Neuronal activity during experience is thought to induce plastic changes within the
hippocampal network that underlie memory formation, although the extent and details of …

A central goal in learning and memory research is to reveal the neural substrates underlying
episodic memory formation. The hallmark of sequential spatial trajectory learning, a model of …

The term hippocampal replay originally referred to the temporally compressed
reinstantiation, during rest, of sequential neural activity observed during prior active wake …
