This review summarizes the brain mechanisms controlling sleep and wakefulness.
Wakefulness promoting systems cause low-voltage, fast activity in the …

Information that is congruent with existing knowledge (a schema) is usually better
remembered than less congruent information. Only recently, however, has the role of …

Switches between different behavioral states of the animal are associated with prominent
changes in global brain activity, between sleep and wakefulness or from inattentive to …

Memory consolidation is the hypothetical process in which an item in memory is transformed
into a long-term form. It is commonly addressed at two complementary levels of description …

Intracranial recordings in subjects suffering from intractable epilepsy—made during their
evaluation for an eventual surgical removal of the epileptic focus—have allowed the …

In this article, we present a perspective on the role of the hippocampal system in
generalization, instantiated in a computational model called REMERGE (recurrency and …

Hippocampal ripples, episodic high-frequency field-potential oscillations primarily occurring
during sleep and calmness, have been described in mice, rats, rabbits, monkeys and …

High frequency oscillations (HFOs) constitute a novel trend in neurophysiology that is
fascinating neuroscientists in general, and epileptologists in particular. But what are HFOs …

In a departure from previous top-down or bottom-up strategies used to understand neuronal
circuits, many forward-looking research programs now place the circuit itself at their centre …

A goal‐directed navigation model is proposed based on forward linear look‐ahead probe of
trajectories in a network of head direction cells, grid cells, place cells and prefrontal cortex …
