What learning systems do intelligent agents need? Complementary learning systems theory updated

D Kumaran, D Hassabis, JL McClelland - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2016 - cell.com
We update complementary learning systems (CLS) theory, which holds that intelligent
agents must possess two learning systems, instantiated in mammalians in neocortex and …

Cellular and system biology of memory: timing, molecules, and beyond

M Korte, D Schmitz - Physiological reviews, 2016 - journals.physiology.org
The storage of information in the mammalian nervous systems is dependent on a delicate
balance between change and stability of neuronal networks. The induction and …

Episodic sequence memory is supported by a theta–gamma phase code

AC Heusser, D Poeppel, Y Ezzyat, L Davachi - Nature neuroscience, 2016 - nature.com
The meaning we derive from our experiences is not a simple static extraction of the elements
but is largely based on the order in which those elements occur. Models propose that …

Diversity in neural firing dynamics supports both rigid and learned hippocampal sequences

AD Grosmark, G Buzsáki - Science, 2016 - science.org
Cell assembly sequences during learning are “replayed” during hippocampal ripples and
contribute to the consolidation of episodic memories. However, neuronal sequences may …

A hippocampal network for spatial coding during immobility and sleep

K Kay, M Sosa, JE Chung, MP Karlsson, MC Larkin… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
How does an animal know where it is when it stops moving? Hippocampal place cells fire at
discrete locations as subjects traverse space, thereby providing an explicit neural code for …

[PDF][PDF] Fast sequences of non-spatial state representations in humans

Z Kurth-Nelson, M Economides, RJ Dolan, P Dayan - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com

[PDF][PDF] Apolipoprotein E4 causes age-dependent disruption of slow gamma oscillations during hippocampal sharp-wave ripples

AK Gillespie, EA Jones, YH Lin, MP Karlsson, K Kay… - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
Apolipoprotein (apo) E4 is the major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the
mechanism by which it causes cognitive decline is unclear. In knockin (KI) mice, human …

What is episodic memory if it is a natural kind?

S Cheng, M Werning - Synthese, 2016 - Springer
Colloquially, episodic memory is described as “the memory of personally experienced
events”. Even though episodic memory has been studied in psychology and neuroscience …
